This Brussels sprouts casserole takes the flavor of Alfredo sauce and chicken to create a delicious, easy to make, keto / low carb dinner.
When it comes to keto meals, one of my most favorites things to make is a casserole. First of all, they are super easy to make, and I'm all about being able to clean up the kitchen while it is cooking. But more importantly, they taste great. The combination of flavors in a casserole makes for a delicious and satisfying meal. And they reheat great too!
In addition to all that, casseroles are often a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies.
This casserole is a bit different than my other keto casseroles because it doesn't use cauliflower. Nope. This one uses Brussels sprouts! The sprouts will need to be shredded or shaved or you can buy them already shaved and prepackaged, Walmart and Target both carry them. Although it's not that hard to chop them up yourself.

🍽 What do you need
While Brussels sprouts look like tiny adorably baby cabbages, they are not just small cabbages. They are, however, from the same vegetable family. Cabbage grows as a head straight out of the ground, Brussels sprouts grow like buds on a thick stalk.

Have you tried freezing this? I want to make this and freeze it but I'm unsure how the brussel sprouts will turn out?

If I know I'm freezing before hand, I'll make two, bake one, and freeze the other for an easy dinner.
