Fast and Fabulous Brussels Sprouts

I found this recipe on a whim and texted it to my husband to make for dinner that night. It was delicious and turned out great.  Not only will we be making this again, but I want to experiment with some different spices to jazz it up. What we did find out making it was that it is quick, easy, and makes Brussels sprouts that will melt in your mouth. I will add pictures the next time we make it as we ate it so quickly this time, there was nothing left!

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved 
3 Tablespoons butter, melted (I did not melt the butter, but just added it to the slow cooker and it was fine)
1 1/2 Tablespoon Dijon mustard (this was also a ballpark; I think I did 3 squirts)
1/2 teaspoon (2 shakes) tarragon
1/2 teaspoon (a pinch) salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (do not add more than this because the pepper will overpower the tarragon)
1/4 cup water
Garnish: fresh tarragon (we did not have this but they were still very tasty)


Combine all ingredients except fresh tarragon garnish in slow cooker. Cover and cook 2-2 1/2 hours on high or 4-5 hours on low, or until sprouts are tender. Some sprouts might get brown or crispy. Stir before serving and garnish with tarragon, if desired.
