Notes
- If you're not vegetarian, you can use chicken or turkey broth, instead of the vegetable broth.
- To make this recipe vegan, use this Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup recipe, pour it over the brussels sprouts in the baking dish and omit the parmesan cheese on top. Bake as instructed.
- Gruyere or sharp cheddar cheese can be used in place of the parmesan cheese.
- Leftover brussel sprout casserole, stored in an airtight container, will last in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- To reheat the casserole, you can either place it in the oven or microwave. If using the oven, place the casserole back in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil and place it into an oven preheated to 350°F. Reheat for 10-15 minutes, or until the casserole is heated throughout. To reheat in the microwave, place the casserole on a microwave-safe plate and into the microwave for 2 minutes.
- This casserole is the perfect size side dish for 4-6 people. If you’re cooking for a larger group, you’ll want to double the recipe. To do this hover over the “servings” amount above and adjust it from 4 to 8, to double the recipe. You can also adjust it up to 12 to triple the recipe.
