Cheryl says
Oh My, we only have frozen brussel sprouts in the house. Can we use them in recipe? Thank You.
Stacey says
Cheryl, you can use forzen Brussels sprouts if you defrost them before cooking.
Rachel says
Holy heck! Wow - we are in love with this dish! I've been trying to find ways to cook Brussels sprouts for ages but never loved any of the past recipes. This, though, is like heaven! We aren't massive pork fans in our house hold so we use chicken thighs in place of pork. This is so good it's likely to become a weekly dinner dish!
Stacey says
Thank you, Rachel, for trying the recipe and for your kind words. Also, thanks for sharing the great idea of using chicken instead of pork.
Shirley says
We tried this tonight and were very pleased with the results. I doubled the amount of Brussels sprouts (we love them) and reduced the amount of applesauce by 1/2 to keep the carb level lower. The combination of flavors was really unique - onions, bacon, sprouts and chops...it doesn't get much better than that. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Stacey says
Thank you, Shirley, for trying the recipe and your very kind words. You certainly can omit or reduce the apple sauce in the recipe. 🙂
Brenda says
I’ll be trying this without the onions and garlic.

nicol says
Will this work with chicken also?

Nikki says
This was really easy and so yummy. We loved it! Thanks for sharing
Stacey says
Nikki, Thank you so much for trying the recipe and your kind words 🙂
julie says
This looks so good.. I love the combo..but have one question. I have not fallen in love with balsamic vinegar yet. Any brand that you'd care to mention as favorable or to stay away from? Thanks.
Stacey says
Julie, you could leave out the balsamic vinegar if you want to. I love it and buy it at Trader Joe's. But there are many flavors in the recipe, so the balsamic won't be a deal breaker to omit.
Suzanne says
I made this for supper tonight and it was delicious! I am only a week into trying to go keto and am wondering about the carbs vs. sugars. Wouldn't the sugar be counted as a carb? Thanks for the yummy recipe and for any insight you can offer on my question.
Stacey says
Thank you Suzanne. The sugars grams in the nutritional data are already included in the total carb amount. The sugar amount lets you know how many of the carbs come from sugars, as not all carbs are sugars. Hope this clears up the confusion on carbs and sugars-
Katja says

I think I overdid it on the sprouts this Christmas but you've given me a good reason to crack them on again. It was amazing anyway and then you went and crumbled bacon in there, wow! Will definitely be trying this next time I have pork chops, thank you!

Thank you Mark 🙂 The bacon was the secret weapon for getting my kids to eat the sprouts, lol.
