Outside of Suffolk County, NY where are County routes signed or written out on BGS?
A few NYSDOT regions do it. Region 6 tends to put shields on signs as a rule, as does Region 8. NYSTA has one in Syracuse. Interestingly, Region 1 does not put CRs on their BGSes, even though most counties in the region sign CRs quite well. On the Northway, at least, Exits 8, 8A, 10, 11, 16, 18, 23, 24, 29 and 32 should have CRs on the BGSes.
Ohio sometimes puts CRs on BGSes. On the US 33 Lancaster bypass, CRs are put in a white square shield (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7673245,-82.689928,3a,25.8y,24.44h,90.94t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sGavjMJhzqVx_5RFV0Lzc0A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656). Alabama signs them on I-22 with the pentagon.
Edit: typo
Minnesota, very much.

Alabama has them on various BGS throughout the state's Interstate highways; most exits are "awarded" to State/US routes. It depends on how heavily the county road shields are used in the area (some counties do not use them, others are more sporadic, some counties use them extensively).
Florida frequently uses them - many of them are deprecated or truncated State Roads.
New Jersey uses them nearly everywhere.
Iowa uses them almost everywhere; there's a whole network of them.
California has a county route system, but I think shield usage is essentially unused on BGS. (I thought I saw an example on this board, but I can't recall.)
I've never seen any spelled out in Georgia nor Tennessee on guide signs; the latter only has one county (McMinn) that uses shields.
Texas has them sprinkled around in some counties, but I've never seen any on a BGS. They're usually seen in rural counties.
Naturally, Louisiana has Parrish Roads - I can think of one on I-12 and a few on "Future" I-49/US 90.

There are a number of them in California.

On I-20 E of Dallas, there is a BGS that has County Roads XXX/XXX spelled out textually
North Carolina has a handful of these including this one on I-95 near Dunn: https://goo.gl/maps/CxERZeh2Ud92
South Carolina used to have several but are down to just a small number. Here is one still around on I-26 near Summerville: https://goo.gl/maps/4wbGHjfNXWG2
I can only think of one example in Virginia, I-77 north of Wytheville: https://goo.gl/maps/UPQFpLJnwdv
If Virginia were to do it routinely I would think it would use "Rte" in front as it does for a few primary routes.
Ohio will do this occasionally, too.

West Virginia's county routes are reliably signed on guide signs at interstate exits with the circular marker.
Someone referenced South Carolina. There are quite a few places where the exit is signed "Road nn" with no marker at all.

That's been replaced with a standard sign.

Of course, if we want to be technical, they are really state secondary roads. And don't get me started on the fractionals.
Maryland has no county routes signed anywhere except by name (county route numbers exist, but are all "secret" and never signed, and the state MUTCD Supplement strikes out the county pentagon sign).

I've seen a county route shield on an advance guide sign in Texas...precisely one time. The shield was actually a white square with 'COUNTY' instead of 'FM' above the number. It appears to have been a one-off temporary sign during some construction work, however. This was a few years ago on I-35 somewhere between Cotulla and San Antonio. I cannot determine the exact location, but I suspect Medina County 770.
Here is some Minnesota examples from I-494 in Hennepin County:

Seriously, that's an awful sign.
The White Pole Road exit, CR G30. It's a historic section of US 6 while US 6 currently follows I-80 much of the way through Iowa. That section of the White Pole Road southwest of here is also particularly scenic and pleasant.
On the Indiana Toll Road, the signs for Exit 96 include the blue county highway shield for County Road 17 (even though the road itself never uses that shield).

Minnesota, very much.
It's funny in the two cases shields have been seemingly arbitrarily greened out presumably to avoid confusion with other routes: I-494 at CR 5 in Minnetonka (to avoid confusion with MN 5 five miles away), and I-494 at CR 52 in Bloomington (to avoid confusion with US 52, I assume, which is about ten miles away). Yet the CR 35 shields on the Portland Avenue BGSs were kept despite being three miles from I-35W.

Also, good luck finding an actual county highway shield on a BGS near the interchange of I-35W and US/County-10 north of Minneapolis. The absence is so striking, it must be to avoid confusion.

(GMSV from 2015 shows it's still there, as is a CSAH 10 shield for the northbound off-ramp)
Now, if you're referring to county routes other than CSAH 10, it has to do with Ramsey County generally not putting an emphasis on it's numbered county routes, with the exception of those routes that are decommissioned state highway segments (such as CSAH 10, CSAH 49, and CSAH 96). Heck, until about 15-20 years ago, Ramsey County didn't even sign their CSAH route numbers. Anywhere.
New Mexico which, as we know, has no affinity for anything regarding convention when it comes to signage, treats drivers to this haphazard homage to TxDOT's F.M./R.M. BGS convention on I-25 south of Santa Fe.

The only time I've seen it is on construction BOSs. In advance of a contraflow near I-75 Exit 78 this year, there was signage "TO [Pentagon Miami County 25A] RIGHT LANE". Miami County doesn't use pentagons. This same area had detour assemblies with black-on-white pentagon shields. Contractors sure do interesting things sometimes.
But no, I can't think of anywhere in Ohio where I've seen a county road in shield form on a BGS, pentagonal, square, or otherwise.

For some reason Iowa does not seem to sign them as much on I-80 east of Des Moines though - there are several interchanges where only the nearby towns are listed and the county route is omitted from the sign.
Taney County 165 being signed for an exit of US 65 in Branson may be the only occurrence of this in Missouri: Streetview (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.6621964,-93.2222989,3a,44.6y,207.09h,99.85t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sINzInXMvR87aY2ajl5_6-A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en)
