Steps

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 400°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

    400 ˚F / 204 ˚C

    In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.

    Ingredients
    • 2 Pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

    • 2 Tablespoon olive oil

    •  Kosher salt, to taste

    •  Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 3

    Place the baking sheet on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown, 15-20 minutes.

    On the stovetop, in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, sauté the bacon until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Leave the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.

    Ingredients
    • 2 Ounce Bacon, diced

    Add the butter and onion to the bacon fat and cook until the onion is translucent. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the milk and whisk until smooth. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, 3-4 minutes. Add the Traeger Chicken Rub and mix well. Add Gruyère cheese and stir until melted into the sauce. Stir in the cooked bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
