Ingredients
– 6 strips of crispy bacon
– 2 cups of fresh or frozen sweet corn
– 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt, to taste
– Black pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Making Crispy Bacon and Sweet Fried Corn is a straightforward process. Just follow these steps:
1. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. This should take about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
2. Drain Excess Grease: After removing the bacon, leave about 1-2 tablespoons of grease in the skillet for flavor. If there’s too much grease, pour out some, leaving just enough for cooking the corn.
3. Sauté the Garlic: Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
4. Add the Corn: Stir in the corn (fresh or frozen) and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and slightly caramelized.
5. Season: Season the corn with salt and black pepper to taste. Remember, the bacon is already salty, so adjust accordingly.
6. Crumble the Bacon: While the corn cooks, crumble the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces.
7. Combine Bacon and Corn: Once the corn is cooked, add the crumbled bacon back to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined, allowing the flavors to meld for an additional minute.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley or chives on top for a fresh touch.
9. Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
These steps will guide you to prepare this incredible dish brilliantly. Within no time, your kitchen will be filled with the delightful aroma of crispy bacon and fried corn!
