Directions
1. To make the Instant Pot Brussels sprouts: Add the Brussels sprouts to the Instant Pot. Add the cream cheese, butter, garlic, and seasonings on top. Pour 1 1/2 cup of vegetable broth or water.
2. Set the Instant Pot to high for 2 minutes (or steam mode). Once the time is up, do a quick release.
3. Add parmesan, and bacon crumbles to the cooked Brussels sprouts and give a quick stir to combine the ingredients together.
4. Place the lid back on the pressure cooker and let melt the cheese and warm the bacon for about 5 minutes. This will allow the sauce to thicken a little bit. Serve the creamy Instant Pot Brussels sprouts warm and enjoy!

Is there a way to make these in a crock pot instead?

Ours turned out perfect! No issues with anything! Thank you! I'm new to the instant pot and this is the first time I've cooked a vegetable in it.

I really think these would've been better with a 1 or 0 minute steam as they turned out mushy. Additionally, the cream cheese could be added after the quick release - ours curdled a little being added in prior to the steam. My husband said other than the mushy part, he liked them.

I love love love brussel sprouts! So when I came upon this recipe, I had to give it shot! Very easy to put together. Followed pretty much to the T, but used beef broth since that is all I had on hand. Mine did turn out very very soft, not sure why, but it has an amazing flavor! Very creamy and rich. My husband whom I haven't been able to get to eat brussel sprouts in 13 years tried one, and said "not bad!" So I count that as a win! I will keep this recipe and maybe try different additions . Thank you!

Absolutely delicious!! My family said they didn't like brussel sprouts. I was convinced I could find a recipe they would like. They devoured this!!!! Came back for seconds. Every time they see me make this now they get excited. Definitely a win!

Great recipe! Tried it tonight, and it was delicious. I added some other goodies (mushrooms, spinach, onion) to make it more of a main dish, and I'm very excited to do the recipe again in the future. :) Thank you for posting this!

This looks so good, but I don't have an Instapot. Can you let me know how to make it on the stove top or crock pot?

Is there enough room in a 6 qt. instant pot to double this recipe? If so, do I need to double the broth? Thank you
