Buttery Fried Corn with Bacon image

A perfect holiday side dish. Not for everyday eating as it has both bacon and butter, but let yourself indulge for the special occasion! Use fresh corn if you can, but frozen works okay as well. A nifty way to remove corn from the cob is by cutting a small part off both ends, then cutting the cob in half. vertically. Then turn the cob on it's end and you have a much more stable way to cut the corn off. This recipe is adapted from Paula Deen. Update: I forgot to say that I only simmer it for 5 more minutes, corn doesn't need to be cooked for 15 minutes in my opinion.

Buttery Fried Corn With Bacon: Tips and Conclusion

Tips:
  • For better result, use fresh corn kernels. Fresh corn kernels have a softer texture and sweeter flavor than frozen or canned corn.
  • If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before cooking. Frozen corn that is not thawed properly will not cook evenly.
  • To enhance the flavor, use sweet corn. Sweet corn is a type of corn that has a higher sugar content than regular corn. This results in a sweeter flavor.
  • Cook the corn over medium heat until it is tender. Cooking the corn over high heat will cause it to burn.
  • Season the corn with salt and pepper, and add butter and bacon to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
  • Serve the corn immediately. Leftover corn can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion: Buttery fried corn with bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover corn, and it is also a great way to add some extra flavor to your meals.
