Creamed Corn
- 8 slices Bacon, Sliced Crosswise Into 1/2" Slices
- 1 cup Sweet Onion, Diced
- 1 whole Jalapeno, Seeds And Membrane Removed, Finely Diced (optional)
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced (1 Clove Should Yield 1/2 Teaspoon)
- 6 cups Fresh Sweet Corn (or Equal Amount Of Frozen Corn, Thawed)
- 1 package (8 Ounce Package) Light Cream Cheese, Cut Into Bite Sized Pieces
- 1/2 cups Whipping Cream Or Half-and-Half
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
- Drain all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease from the skillet and add the onion, jalapeno pepper (if using) and garlic. Saute over medium-high heat for a couple of minutes until onion is beginning to soften. Reduce heat to medium and add corn to the skillet. Cook for about 7-8 minutes until tender. Reduce heat to medium low and add the cream cheese, whipping cream (or half-and-half), sugar, kosher salt and pepper. Stir until cream cheese is melted. Transfer to your serving dish. Crumble bacon and add it to the top of the corn.
- Enjoy!
