Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider stirring in some sour cream or cream cheese along with the soup. If you prefer fresh Brussels sprouts, use about 1.5 pounds, steamed until tender. To add more flavor, try incorporating garlic powder or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. You can also substitute the cream of celery soup with cream of mushroom for a different taste.
Serving Suggestions
This Brussels Sprouts Casserole pairs beautifully with roasted chicken or a savory pork dish. For a hearty vegetarian meal, serve it alongside a quinoa salad or stuffed peppers. You can also enjoy it as a side dish with your favorite Thanksgiving feast. Consider drizzling with balsamic glaze for an extra touch of flavor.
