Spicy Pork Brussels Bowls are a delicious low-carb meal made with ground Brussels sprouts as a base, smoky ground pork and an egg on top!

Spicy Brussels pork bowls

I'm pretty obsessed with those low-carb bowls that use shredded sautéed Brussels sprouts as a base. The smoky ground pork is the perfect addition, and the runny egg on top makes it sassy and delicious. If you don't eat pork, use ground beef instead. For some other Brussels sprouts recipes, try my Brussels Sprout Carbonara, Cacio E Pepe Brussels Sprouts, and Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta Recipes.

This flavorful pork bowl is very easy to prepare and great for making meals. You can even freeze the shells without the egg. I season the ground pork with a mixture of Mexican spices, including smoky paprika, ancho chili powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. The meat is so aromatic!

Can you put Brussels sprouts in a food processor?

Yes, adding Brussels sprouts to your food processor is a great way to save time chopping up Brussels sprouts. Just attach the cutting blade and you will be ready in no time! You can also buy pre-shredded Brussels sprouts at the grocery store if you don't have time to cut them by hand.

Pork Brussels Sprouts Bowl Tips & Variations:

Swap your protein: Replace the pork with the minced meat you want. Try it with lamb, chicken, turkey, beef or go meatless with Impossible Burger or Beyond Meat.

Add a grain: If you want to get more servings out of this bowl recipe, serve over brown rice or quinoa for even more plumpness.

For food preparation: Divide into four meal preparation containers. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to four days. To heat up, heat the microwave at 30 second intervals.

How to Freeze: Freeze without an egg for up to three months. Place in the refrigerator to heat up or reheat in 30 second intervals from frozen to reheat.
