Fall is definitely here when Trader Joe’s starts selling fresh stalks of brussels sprouts, acorns, spaghetti squash and butternut squash for a really good price. I grabbed some sprouts to make a quick and easy one skillet meal for dinner and added grass fed beef hotdogs, seasoned it with some cracked peppercorn and wing sauce dressing and voila! dinner is served 🙂
Brussels Sprouts Skillet

- 1 tbsp lard, avocado oil or coconut oil
- 1/2 medium onion cubed

In a cast iron pan over medium-high heat, add oil, onions and sun-dried tomatoes and saute until onions are soft. Add the hotdogs and cook until a little browned. Remove from pan and set aside.

Mix everything together and cook for a few more minutes until all the flavors are incorporated.

What can be used in place of lard? I’ll never use it, so am wondering if perhaps butter would work? Everything else looks good, and I love a good Brussels sprouts recipe, so thank you!
Jenny says
Yes you can use butter and it will taste yummier too 🙂

We tried this dish. I changed a few things due to what I had on hand. Instead of hot dogs I used kilbase beef sausage and hot n spicey dipping sauce…. Honey liked it
Jenny says
Kielbasa sounds like a great alternative to hotdogs 🙂
Corina says
Ive had this recipe in the back of my head for a while now and tonight its happening! Couldn’t find the blk pepper dressing so i’m doing a mixture of smoked tomato dressing and hot wing sauce. Also switching up the sun dried tomatoes with a roasted red pepper because that’s what we have on hand. Can’t wait!
Jenny says
Sounds like your substitutions are delicious!
Cristi says
Any other suggestions for the pepper dressing?
Jenny says
You can use any dressing/seasoning you prefer. For a simple one, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and some cayenne pepper would be great!
chris says
So what in the world of wide wide sports is “Tessamae’s cracked pepper dressing”
Certainly nothing I wan’t to buy. What is the substitute for that?
Jenny says
Its a seasoning brand but you can sub it with evoo, lemon, garlic, cracked pepper and salt. Just adjust the seasoning according to taste.

Do you use a 12″ skillet?
Jenny says
Yes I do.
Izzy says
I do not have a cast-iron skillet. Can I do this in a metal sautee pan?
Izzy says
I plan to cook this tonight and can’t wait on a reply, so I’ll let you guys know how it works out.
Jenny says
Yes that would work!

Found you on the whole30 recipes instagram feed. This is very tasty and easy! We never tried brussel sprouts until whole30 and found we had been missing out. They are very tasty when made the right way. Thanks for a great recipe that will be on rotation in our house!
Jenny says
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed this recipe! I’m sure you’ll be making more brussels sprouts dishes in the future 😉
