As far as “things you might say in the kitchen” go, bacon and ranch have to be two of my favorite words. Growing up, I’d eat anything if it was smothered in ranch dressing and/or seasoning. In fact, it was pretty much the only way I’d eat vegetables. Add some bacon, and you’d be guaranteed a smash hit. I may not be as picky about vegetables as I used to be, but Brussels sprouts are still a bit of a sticking point in my household, so I’m always looking for fun, new ways to jazz them up. These Bacon Ranch Brussels Sprouts, with a homemade ranch-inspired seasoning mix, absolutely hit the spot. They pack such a huge wallop of flavor, they’re the perfect side for unseasoned steaks or any other mild-flavored protein. Enjoy!
