Cheeseburger Brussels Sprouts

Whether you like Brussels Sprouts or not, this recipe will not disappoint. It’s also a great low-carb option for anyone looking for tasty low-carb options, and it’s a great recipe to make in bulk to have for meals later on in the week; I recommend doubling the recipe if you’re batch making this recipe.

One thing to note about the below recipe: it’s easy to over-consume this recipe, so be mindful of the serving size. The below recipe makes 4 servings, I recommend pairing this recipe with something else – like a side spinach salad.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

3 cups (300g / ~18-30) Brussel Sprouts (frozen or fresh)
1/2 medium White Onion
1 lb. Lean Ground Beef

Seasoning:

2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
3 Tbsp. Mustard
2 Tbsp. Ketchup
1 tsp. Black Pepper
1/2 cup (~50g) Cheddar cheese (shredded)

Optional Extra:

2-4 Pickles, diced

Instructions

Cut up brussel sprouts (3 cups) into halves length-wise; for bigger brussel sprout bulbs you can cut them three times length-wise; this is easier to do when the brussel sprouts are slightly frozen, easier to cut – not If they are completely frozen however, if this is the case thaw them out a little in the microwave (5-6 minutes). Set aside.
Lightly spray a frying pan (with non-stick spray), then add lean ground beef (1lb.) and start to brown it (medium-to-high heat). If your lean ground beef is frozen, defrost in microwave.
In another frying pan turn on medium heat, spray with non-stick and add brussel sprouts.
Grate cheese (if you didn’t buy pre-shredded cheese), set aside.
While meat starts to brown, dice white onion (1/2 Onion) and add to meat.
Mix together worcestershire sauce, black pepper, ketchup, and mustard. Add to ground beef when meat is brown.
At this time the brussel sprouts should be close to being ready, they are done when they start to char a little (tips and outside of sprout are brown/black). When they are done, add to meat mixture and mix together evenly.
Reduce heat, top with shredded cheese and serve.
