Equipment Needed

  • 2 frying pans 
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Cheese Grater

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (300g / ~18-30) Brussel Sprouts (frozen or fresh)
  • 1/2 medium White Onion
  • 1 lb. (454 grams) Lean Ground Beef

Seasoning:

  • 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. Mustard
  • 2 Tbsp. Ketchup
  • 1 tsp. Black Pepper
  • 1/2 cup (~50g) Cheddar cheese (shredded)

Optional Extra:

  • 2-4 Pickles, diced
  • 4 strips Bacon, cut into 1 cm pieces after cooked

Instructions

Step 1

Cut up brussels sprouts (3 cups) into halves length-wise; for bigger brussel sprout bulbs you can cut them three times length-wise; this is easier to do when the brussel sprouts are slightly frozen, easier to cut – not If they are completely frozen however, if this is the case thaw them out a little in the microwave (5-6 minutes). Set aside.

Step 2

Lightly spray a frying pan (with non-stick spray), then add lean ground beef (1lb.) and start to brown it (medium-to-high heat). If your lean ground beef is frozen, defrost in microwave.

Step 3

 In another frying pan turn on medium heat, spray with non-stick and add brussels sprouts.

Step 4

Grate cheese (if you didn’t buy pre-shredded cheese), set aside.

Step 5

While meat starts to brown, dice white onion (1/2 Onion) and add to meat.

Step 6

Mix together worcestershire sauce, black pepper, ketchup, and mustard. Add to ground beef when meat is brown. 

Step 7

At this time the brussels sprouts should be close to being ready, they are done when they start to char a little (tips and outside of sprout are brown/black). When they are done, add to meat mixture and mix together evenly.

Step 8

Reduce heat, top with shredded cheese and serve.
