This Cheesy Butternut Squash Skillet with Brussels sprouts and Bacon is beyond simple, healthy, and delicious. The absolute perfect side dish for Fall!

Imagine getting a little roasted butternut squash, brussels sprouts, crispy bacon, and melty cheese in every bite. OH YES. I’m here for it!
The best part is it’s so incredibly simple! Add cubed butternut squash (I like to buy it pre-cubed at the store because the easier the better!) and brussels sprouts to a large greased skillet and toss with olive oil, garlic, salt, cracked pepper, and fresh thyme.

Top with chopped bacon and pop in the oven to bake for 25-35 minutes, just until that bacon is cooked and veggies are tender. Remove from the oven and top with cheese.

I personally like to use a combination of parmesan and gruyere. Mmm, I love me some gruyere. However, if you cannot find gruyere, parmesan and mozzarella is a delicious combination too!
