Not only are these creamy Brussels sprouts delicious but they’re also super easy to make.

Turn off the stove and stir in the four ingredients that truly make this Thanksgiving side dish special: half and half, nonfat milk, shredded light white cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese. Place them into the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then broil for one to two minutes before serving.
