BACON WRAPPED GRILLED CORN ON THE COB



Bacon Wrapped Grilled Corn on the Cob image

The ultimate decadent corn on the cob;. based on a recipe from Paula Deen, of course. :) The flavor the bacon gives the corn is outstanding! Prep time includes soaking.

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Pork

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ears corn
1 lb bacon
water, for soaking
butcher string

Steps:

  • Carefully expose the corn kernels by pulling back the husk, but do NOT remove the husk.
  • Remove the corn silk (you can use a soft brush to ensure that all the silk is removed).
  • Put water in a large container, add the corn, and soak the corn in the husks for 30 minutes. This will help to prevent the husks from charring on the grill.
  • Preheat grill to medium temperature.
  • Remove the soaked corn from the water and pat dry.
  • Wrap strips of bacon around the corn kernels on each ear; fold the husks back over the bacon and kernels.
  • Tie the husks down with butcher string; repeat with all ears of corn.
  • Grill over medium coals/heat, turning occasionally, for about 15 to 20 minutes and until the bacon is cooked and the corn is tender.
  • Cut the butcher string away from the husks and serve.
  • Note #1: You can make these earlier in the day if you store them in a container in the refrigerator wrapped in moistened towels.
  • Note #2: I've done them ahead of time for camping, frozen them, and put them in the cooler frozen to help keep things cold in there. Take them out for cooking when thawed (or to thaw them). Put them in the coals for reheating. Wonderful! Also good with a little seasoned salt sprinkled on before wrapping - either Lowry's, Johnny's, or for a change of pace either Southwest Seasoning (http://www.recipezaar.com/253112) or Curry Powder (http://www.recipezaar.com/104344).
  • Note #3: I've also found that I like to pre-cook the bacon a little so that it's partially cooked, drizzle the small amount of fat mixed with a bit of oil or butter over the cobs, wrap the bacon around, then proceed with the other steps. Otherwise the bacon doesn't cook completely on the cob and is generally tossed away uneaten.

This bacon-wrapped corn on the cob recipe with jalapeño and basil is so good it's practically a meal all by itself.

Provided by Allen Salkin

Categories     Side Dish     Dinner

Time 8h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 pounds1.36 kilograms bacon slices
1 bunch basil (leaves only)
2 jalapeño peppers

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lay a 13-by-18-inch piece of parchment paper on your countertop and lay 6 or 7 slices of bacon alongside each other, slightly overlapping one another, fat-side against meat-side, to form a rough rectangle that is as wide as an ear of corn is long.
  • Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and pound lightly with a meat mallet or small sauté pan to flatten the bacon and press it together.
  • Remove the top parchment sheet and decorate the bacon with 10 to 12 small pieces of basil (you can tear up the larger leaves) and a few slices of jalapeño pepper.
  • Lay 1 ear of corn across the bottom of the rectangle and roll the corn up in the bacon.
  • Transfer the bacon-wrapped corn to the prepared baking sheet, laying it seam side down on the parchment paper.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining 7 ears of corn (you can use the same 2 pieces of parchment paper) until all are wrapped in bacon. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat a grill to medium heat. If you have a larger grill with an upper rack, use that to cook the bacon.
  • Grill the corn, starting with the bacon seam side down.
  • Give them a quarter turn every 5 minutes until all of the bacon is crisp and caramelized and the corn is tender, 25 to 30 minutes total.
  • This bacon-wrapped corn on the cob is delicious served ​with a charred lime crema. Recipe from Home: Recipes to Cook with Family and Friends by Chef Bryan Voltaggio, reprinted with permission.

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB WRAPPED WITH BACON



Grilled Corn on the Cob Wrapped with Bacon image

The saltiness of bacon brings out the sweetness in corn, and grilling adds mellow smokiness. Don't worry if you see charring-it mostly affects the husk and will bring out a deeper flavor in the kernels.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 ears corn
8 slices bacon
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 1 to 2 seconds). Pull back husks completely (do not remove), exposing corn. Discard silk, using a vegetable brush to remove silk completely.
  • Wrap 1 strip of bacon around each ear of corn. Pull corn husks back up, covering bacon and corn. Tie open end of husk with kitchen twine.
  • Grill corn, turning occasionally with tongs, until kernels are tender and bacon is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes (husks will blacken). Transfer corn to a large bowl or platter; serve with salt and pepper for seasoning.

BACON-WRAPPED CORN ON THE COB

Categories     Pork     Vegetable     Side     Mother's Day     Backyard BBQ     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 ears corn, unhusked
4 slices bacon
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare a grill for low direct heat.
  • 2. Peel back the cornhusks but do not remove them. Pull out and discard all the silk. Working from top to bottom, wrap a strip of bacon in a spiral around each ear of corn. Season with pepper. Pull the husk back over the corn. Wrap a piece of foil tightly around the top 1 1/2 inches of the ear of corn. (Or use a piece of kitchen twine soaked in water to tie the tops of the cornhusks closed.)
  • 3. Grill the corn about 10 minutes or until the husks are brown all over, turning occasionally. Let corn cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Select fresh corn on the cob: Choose ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks. Avoid ears with dry or damaged husks, as these may indicate that the corn is old or has been stored improperly.
  • Soak the corn cobs in water: This helps to prevent the husks from burning and keeps the corn moist during grilling. Soak the cobs for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Remove the silk from the corn cobs: Peel back the husks and remove the silk from the corn kernels. Be careful not to remove the husks completely, as you will need them to wrap the bacon around the corn.
  • Wrap the corn cobs in bacon: Cut the bacon slices in half lengthwise. Wrap each corn cob with two pieces of bacon, overlapping the slices slightly. Secure the bacon with toothpicks.
  • Season the corn cobs: Sprinkle the bacon-wrapped corn cobs with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a pat of butter or a drizzle of olive oil to each cob before grilling.
  • Grill the corn cobs: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the corn cobs for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through and the corn is tender. Turn the corn cobs occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  • Serve the corn cobs hot: Once the corn cobs are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve the corn cobs with additional butter, salt, and pepper, if desired.

Conclusion:

Grilled bacon-wrapped corn on the cob is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts.
