Those look delicious, erain. I'll have to give them a try next time I smoke. Maybe that might convince my guys that brussel sprouts are good.

 

[erain]

convince??? they are good!!!

 

[irishteabear]

I think so too, but no one else here does. I get to eat them all by myself. On second thought maybe I'll just fix them and I'll keep them for myself. I won't share any.

Those look fantastic. Brussels sprouts are one of our favorite vegetables. Love them roasted, steamed, braised, shredded, just about any way is fine. This is a new one for me. The insides look so creamy.

What temp did you use and what is the average time cooking time?

I love the combination of bacon and sprouts. My bride doesn't much care for bacon or other porky products so may have to improvise on these.

Points to you erain for a interesting and delicious looking sprout prep.

I don't know why anyone would ruin perfectly good bacon.

Never been a fan of sprouts.

 

[ronp]

IMHO no ruined bacon here. Yummo.

Right up my alley Erain.

I love sprouts.

Ma, erain that's just fantastic! Brussel Sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables and you sure can make them look good!

I tried these over the weekend in my smoker, and they were great. I am hooked. I sprinkled rub mix on both the Brussel Sprouts and the bacon after wrapped.

It did seem like the sprout need a little marinade on the inside to get a bit more flavor, maybe a salt water marinade for a day or two would help.


I also tried these on the grill and they turned out terrible. Hard to control the flames, bacon unwrapped, Brussel Sprouts themselves very tough. you need to parboil them I think to make them tender, if they are to be cooked on the grill. The smoker is the way to go.
