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.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh corn on the cob: Look for ears with bright green husks and tightly packed kernels. Avoid ears with brown or yellow husks, as these are signs of old or overripe corn.
  • Soak the corn on the cob in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling: This will help to prevent the corn from drying out and burning on the grill.
  • Use thick-cut bacon for wrapping the corn on the cob: This will help to ensure that the bacon is cooked through and crispy.
  • Season the bacon-wrapped corn on the cob with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices: This will help to enhance the flavor of the corn and bacon.
  • Grill the bacon-wrapped corn on the cob over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through and crispy: Be sure to turn the corn on the cob frequently to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Let the bacon-wrapped corn on the cob rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the corn and bacon.
