  • “Uncle Bill – these were delicious!Made your recipe exactly as shown – nothing needs to be changed! I was able to make these ahead of time & then just popped them under the broiler 5 minutes b4 dinner. Even my picky DH liked these (and he’s darn lucky I even shared them!).I’ll be making this dish often – thanks!”

  • “I tried this recipe because we love brussel sprouts and eat them often.They were good, but we really like them better with butter, salt, & pepper.”

  • “First time making sprouts and this was a great, simple, yummy recipe!”

  • “Fantastic!! I had some left over bread crumb mixture from making chicken tenders a few nights ago that had basically the same ingredients as this mixture.I added a few things to make it more like this recipe and left in whatever was more specific to the other recipe. I made the following changes: added a handful of chopped rosemary, added about 1/2 clove of minced garlic, and used about 2 TBS butter instead of the 6 suggested. It only took about 3-4 minutes for my sprouts to broil perfectly.I can’t wait to make and eat this again!!”

  • “I love these sprouts!Only one change, I tossed the sprouts in the mixture before placing in the casserole dish.I wanted that good flavor all over those little guys.Excellent recipe, thank you Uncle Bill.”

  • “I am guilty of not liking these little guys, but I must admit I did enjoy them done this way…in fact another time I went to make brussel sprouts for dinner my son made me search my cookbook to find this recipe again….thanks for posting….I had better not misplace this recipe ever….”

  • “I have been searching for a brussel sprout recipe and this one turned out amazing! I don’t even like the darn things and I wanted to eat the whole pan. I did cut down on some of the butter to make it lighter. Still yummy.”

  • “Yummy!I made this with breaded tilapia so I just made extra breading (169764).As I said in that review, I used oats instead of bread crumbs to get more oats in my diet.I thought it turned out just as good.”

  • “Ooooohhh – these arre soooo good!THanks for another fun and delicous recipe, Uncle Bill.”

  • “Mmm… Uncle Bill… another excellent recipe. I did as KeeWee suggested and made them ahead of time. I was in charge of the vegetable, so I had the crumbs in a zip style bag and took the whole thing with me in a glass pie plate to my sister’s house for dinner. I reheated just a tad in the microwave and topped with the buttered, seasoned crumbs and broiled ’til toasty..Oh man… really good. Thanks for another keeper!luvmybge”

  • “I made these for my Easter crowd of 22 people, and they were a hit.Delicous, different way to prepare Brussels.Well written and easy to follow recipe, I will be making this recipe again.Thanks Uncle Bill for another winner!”
