Ring. Ring. Hello…

Hello…

Are you coming to the potluck?  Can you bring a vegetable side dish?

Why, yes. Yes I can.

Holy crackers Batman!  Who knew bacon and corn tastes so perfect together?

I know corn isn’t quite in season yet, but if you come across a good deal on corn, grab a few ears and whip up this side dish.  You won’t regret it!  I promise.

Ingredients

6 slices bacon {reserve bacon drippings}
4 cups corn kernels, fresh
3 scallions, sliced thin, including greens
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Fry bacon til nice and crisp. Set on paper towels to train.

In the same pan with the bacon grease fry scallions until lightly browned, add corn kernels, butter, salt and pepper.  Cook until the corn mixture is golden, stirring occasionally {about 5 minutes}.  Add garlic when there is about 1 minute of cooking time left. Serve warm or cold.
