Creamy Potato-Brussels Sprouts Casserole

This is one of my favorite Brussels sprouts dishes and I have literally eaten the whole dish by myself (though I was very, very full afterwards). If you are serving it as a side, it'll feed 5- to 6 people. As a main. I would say 2 or 3, but 4 is probably more reasonable for normal vegetable eaters.... Do not skimp on the salt, pepper, and nutmeg otherwise the casserole will be too bland (but you can of course always salt at the table).
