How to Make Brussels Sprouts in Cheese Sauce
Cut the ends off the sprouts. This is the most time-consuming part, and my least favorite.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook until a fork easily goes into the brussels sprouts, about 10-15 minutes. Drain them.
In a saucepan make the creamy cheese sauce, this is an easy sauce consisting of butter, garlic, flour, salt & pepper, milk and shredded cheese.

Stir until they’re completely cheesy. Serve and enjoy!
Recipe Help
Here’s the answers to the most FAQ for this recipe.
- This recipe calls for 2 pounds of Brussels sprouts, but if you only have 1 pound, just cut the recipe in half. Want to make 4 pounds for a Thanksgiving side? Easy, just double the recipe.
- I like shredded orange cheddar cheese for the cream sauce, but if you’re looking for a white sauce, use white cheddar cheese, or mozzarella cheese. Looking for extra creamy? Use Velveeta.
- These will keep in your refrigerator for 2-3 days. Heat up in the microwave or put into a saucepan on the stove.
- You can freeze these! Make per recipe directions, allow to cool and then package in freezer bags. When we have a big brussels sprouts harvest in the garden, I’ll often make a few batches of these for easy weeknight side dishes. When it’s time to eat, defrost overnight in the fridge or in the microwave.
