Spicy Pork Brussels Bowls are a delicious low-carb meal, made with shredded brussels sprouts as the base, smoky ground pork, and an egg on top!
Spicy Pork Brussels Bowls
I’m pretty obsessed with these low-carb bowls, which use shredded sautéed brussels sprouts as the base. The smoky ground pork is the perfect complement, and the runny egg on top makes it saucy and delicious. If you don’t eat pork, use any ground meat in its place. For some other brussels sprouts recipes, try my Brussels Sprouts Carbonara, Cacio E Pepe Brussels Sprouts , and Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta.
This spicy pork bowl is very easy to make and excellent for meal prep. You can even freeze the bowls without the egg. I season the ground pork with a blend of Mexican spices, including smoky paprika, ancho chili powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. The meat is so flavorful!
Can you put brussels sprouts in a food processor?
Yes, putting brussels sprouts in your food processor is an excellent way to save time shredding sprouts. Just attach the slicing blade, and they’ll be ready in no time! You can also buy pre-shredded brussels sprouts at the grocery store if you don’t have time to slice them by hand.
Pork Brussels Sprouts Bowl Tips & Variations:
Swap your protein: Substitute the pork for any ground meat you wish. Try it with lamb, chicken, turkey, beef, or go meatless with Impossible Burger or Beyond Meat.
Add a grain: If you’d like to get more portions out of this bowl recipe, serve it over brown rice or quinoa to make it even more filling.
To meal prep: Divide into four meal prep containers. Cover and refrigerate up to four days. To heat, microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through.
How to freeze: Freeze covered for up to three months without the egg. To reheat, transfer to the refrigerator or reheat from frozen in 30-second intervals until heated through.

Loved this and so easy, I used sweet Italian sausage, didn’t have the adobe seasoning but was still spicy enough
This was very good! I was a little concerned it would be too spicy but it wasn’t! Light but very filling. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
While delicious, it’s not even kind of spicy. I’d do what someone else said and double the spices
Love this recipe! I’ve made it with ground chicken and ground turkey as well and find it to be just as good. Keep the fabulous recipes coming!!
Love this dish, have made it multiple times😋 so good !!
This dish is awesome! 5 star!
Fabulous recipe! Now my “go to”meal prep.
a regular in my dinner rotation
I double the spices
So delicious!
This was so good! Definitely making again!
I am very interested to try this for lunch meal preps. I saw someone else asked, but I didn’t see the answer. If meal prepping for the week, would you fry the egg and keep it with the lunch? I wouldn’t have a place at work to fry one up.
I would soft boil the eggs instead for meal prep. Reheated yolks are… Unpleasant
This is an amazing, easy, delicious weeknight dinner. Everyone loves it included my toddlers and older kids! My 70 year old father said he’s never enjoyed a brussel sprout in his life bc they’re always “bitter” no matter how they’re prepared… I made this dish for him. He had 2 big bowls!
Thank you for the recipes, Gina!
Absolutely love this recipe! I went with lean ground beef, doubled the eggs with 2 per serving.
Delicious! Went down very well last night. So simple and tasty
Where can you find 90/10 lean ground pork?
Really enjoyed! Highly recommend.
So good, so easy and makes great leftovers too. Yum!
This was truly delicious! Thank you for this recipe! It’s a keeper!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Delicious and spicy. Used ground beef because no pork on hand. Still awesome and hearty!
