The Night Before: Cut the brussels sprouts into quarters and store in an
airtight container in the fridge.

Taste and adjust the seasonings.

AuthorNote: I am a brussels sprouts lover and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
This is an easy side dish that you can throw in a 1 to 1 1/2 quart slow
cooker while you are making dinner, or better yet, while you relax before
dinner!

Try eating the leftovers straight from the fridge, or in a chilled pasta
salad.
