Brussel Sprouts in Butter Sauce

I've made these many times, but never on Thanksgiving. Usually my mother-in-law picks up several boxes of Green Giant's Brussel Sprouts in Butter Sauce boil in a bag packages, because I've got so much going already I just don't have an extra few minutes to make these completely homemade on Thanksgiving too. This recipe tastes just like Green Giant's Butter Sauce, my kids always go crazy for them.

Brussel Sprouts in Butter Sauce
Ingredients
2 bunches of fresh brussel sprouts or 16oz package of frozen
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup butter, cut up into cubes
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

Start by steaming brussel sprouts for 10 minutes or until very tender when pierced with fork.

For sauce - start by combining water and cornstarch in measuring cup until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside.

In saucepan, melt butter with salt and sugar over medium heat. Once melted, add cornstarch mixture, continue mixing and heating until mixture thickens to a thin sauce.

Remove from heat. Put brussel sprouts into serving dish, pour sauce over, toss to coat.

Note: this same sauce can be used on many other vegetables, I've tried it on corn, asparagus, broccoli, and cauliflower - tastes great on all.
