BUTTERY FRIED CORN WITH BACON



Buttery Fried Corn with Bacon image

A perfect holiday side dish. Not for everyday eating as it has both bacon and butter, but let yourself indulge for the special occasion! Use fresh corn if you can, but frozen works okay as well. A nifty way to remove corn from the cob is by cutting a small part off both ends, then cutting the cob in half. vertically. Then turn the cob on it's end and you have a much more stable way to cut the corn off. This recipe is adapted from Paula Deen. Update: I forgot to say that I only simmer it for 5 more minutes, corn doesn't need to be cooked for 15 minutes in my opinion.

~ Fried Corn, Cream & Bacon ~ image

This is one of my favorite ways to use delicious fresh sweet corn when it comes in season. It is my husbands absolute favorite. The corn I bought the other day could not have been any better for this. It's like eating candy! My Grandma used to make hers similar, although she never used the heavy cream. Actually I think she used...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 c fresh sweet corn, removed from the cob and scrape the cob to get all of that delicious milk
1/3 c flour
1 c half and half
3/4 c cream
2 Tbsp butter
7 - 8 slice bacon, cooked, drained and crumbled - reserve 3 - 4 tablespoons drippings
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
1 large clove, garlic - minced
1 1/2 Tbsp basil paste that you can find in produce section of most stores
salt and fresh cracked black pepper - to taste ( i add about 3/4 tsp salt and several grinds of pepper
couple pinches, nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. In my cast iron skillet ( 9 inch ) fry bacon and reserve 3 -4 tablespoons of the drippings. Drain bacon and crumble. In the drippings, add the onion and garlic and cook over med heat until tender.
  • 2. Add the corn saute, stirring often for about 7 minutes or until tender. Make sure you don't scorch it. Set aside and make the cream.
  • 3. In another skillet, over medium heat, brown the flour, stirring often, not to burn. About 4 minutes.
  • 4. In a 2 cup measuring cup, measure out 1 cup of half and half and to this add 3/4 cup cream. Stir. Slowly whisk the cream mixture into the flour, smoothing out any lumps. Cook until starting to thicken and bubble.
  • 5. Return corn to burner over medium heat, pour the cream mixture over the corn and stir to evenly distribute. Cook for another 4 - 5 minutes. If too thick for your taste, thin out with more half and half. Stir in bacon, basil, nutmeg, butter, salt and pepper. Taste and add more salt if needed.
  • 6. Time to enjoy this delicious side dish. As I said before, I could make a meal out of this, with a side of yummy corn bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best for this recipe. If you're using frozen corn, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Cut the corn off the cob: The easiest way to do this is to use a sharp knife to slice down the sides of the cob. You can also use a corn stripper.
  • Cook the bacon until it's crispy: This will give the corn a delicious smoky flavor. You can cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you add the corn to the skillet, make sure there's enough room for the kernels to spread out in a single layer. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the corn with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance the flavor of the corn.
  • Serve the corn immediately: Bacon-fried corn is best served hot and fresh. You can sprinkle it with additional salt, pepper, or chopped parsley before serving.

Conclusion:

Bacon-fried corn is a quick and easy side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's delicious, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying side dish, give bacon-fried corn a try. You won't be disappointed!
