Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Add bacon to an ovenproof skillet over medium heat, and cook until crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel to drain, leaving bacon grease in skillet.

Whisk half-and-half and Dijon in the skillet, and stir in Parmesan, half of the Cheddar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the sprouts back to the skillet, stirring gently. Evenly scatter the remaining Cheddar over the sprouts.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until starting to bubble and turn golden brown, checking sprouts for tenderness with the tip of a knife, 12 to 15 minutes. If mixture looks a little dry, drizzle in a little bit of half-and-half for moisture.
