Skillet Brussels Sprouts with Sausage & Parmesan

This dish is such a hit that we have to double the recipe. If you decide to double the recipe make sure you have a very large skillet! If you want to make it Vegetarian, just leave out the sausage. Use a touch more oil if the brussels sprouts seem too dry when cooking.
You can also use precooked sausage, such as kielbasa sausage as well. Just cut it up and use in the recipe instead of the uncooked sausage meat.
