So, you ask, I deliver.
I had scheduled a different recipe to post today, but after all of the inquiries about this side dish that was in the photos on Monday’s chicken post, I thought I’d skip ahead and share this recipe with you.
There is a reason that all of you want this recipe. It’s just as good as it looks. Sure, it’s not an everyday indulgence, but man – when you do take that splurge, it’s totally worth it. I mean – you can’t go wrong with bacon and corn in a creamy sauce, right? I used frozen corn, but I know it would great with fresh corn. And since fresh corn is right around the corner, this will be a great recipe to have in your back pocket. I’m going to remember this one for family get togethers or summer parties. I’m sure I’ll be the favorite of the party for bringing this!!

Just made this recipe and it turned out great! I started by baking the bacon first then pouring the drippings/grease in a pan to saute the onions, then went by the instructions after that. I used a 1lb bag of frozen super sweet corn, so it was slightly more than the recipe, so I added a little extra of everything to compensate. Will definitely make again.

Hi
Did you thaw the corn before you used it in this recipe.
Deborah says
My corn was still frozen – it thaws out as it cooks, although you could use it thawed as well.
