How to make brussels sprouts fattening...and delicious...with minimal fuss. These were quartered, tossed with cut-up bacon ends and pieces, and left to render in the oven. Then cream and Hanford Jack Smoked Jalapeno cheese were mixed in and left until melty and brown.
We had quite a discussion about whether this was a gratin (my description) or a hot dish or a casserole. Then we had another discussion about whether the brown, crunchy (and quite delicious, I thought) bottom crust qualified as tahdig, since no rice was involved. If we can't call it tahdig, then we need a word for it.
