This solid casserole is perfect for a winter gathering and would especially be welcome around the holidays. The strong flavors of sharply biting Brussels sprouts and salty bacon are rounded our with creamy, cheesy goodness while buttery breadcrumbs add a nice crunch. It'd make a perfect side for roasted chicken or pot roast, but it's also a nice addition to a Thanksgiving or Christmas table.

  • While sprouts roast, whisk together flour and 1/2 cup of the milk in a bowl. Bring remaining 3 1/2 cups milk to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Whisk in flour mixture; cook, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Whisk in cheeses and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Remove from heat.

  • Toss together roasted sprouts and crumbled bacon in a 2-quart square baking dish. Pour cheese mixture over sprouts-bacon mixture. Toss together panko, butter, and thyme in a bowl; sprinkle over mixture in baking dish. Bake at 425°F until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
