Sunny Sprouts

Sunny Sprouts

Who knew Brussels sprouts could taste this good? It’s the tangy mustard drizzle that makes all the difference.

Notes

This recipe has been a family favorite for years. I believe I found it originally in a Pillsbury cookbook. Lately, I’ve seen the recipe sprouting up all over the web . . . it’s that good!

It’s especially good with ham because of the tangy mustard.
