Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pkg bacon, 1/2 inch dice
1 medium onion, 1/4 inch dice (sweet is best)
1 red bell pepper, 1/4 in dice
4 can(s) whole kernel corn, drained
salt & pepper if desired, i just use pepper.
1 1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. In large saute pan, brown diced bacon until just crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels, set aside.
  • 2. Reserve about 3 tablespoons of bacon fat in pan and discard the rest. Add diced onion and red bell peppers to pan with bacon fat and cook over medium heat until onions just start to caramelize.
  • 3. Add drained corn and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes.
  • 4. If you are making to serve at later time or day, refridgerate at this point. Bacon and cheese should be added just before serving because the bacon will get soggy and the cheese will get hard.
  • 5. Add bacon, salt & pepper if desired, stir and cook until heated through. Cover with cheddar cheese, cover with lid, remove from heat.
  • 6. Best served as soon as cheese is melted.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn on the cob whenever possible. Fresh corn has a sweeter, more flavorful taste than frozen or canned corn.
  • If you're using frozen corn, thaw it before cooking. This will help the corn cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the corn. Overcooked corn will become tough and chewy.
  • Season the corn with your favorite spices and herbs. Some popular seasonings include chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and cilantro.
  • Serve the corn immediately after cooking. This will ensure that it is at its best flavor.

Conclusion:

Ranchero corn is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy, mild, or somewhere in between, ranchero corn is sure to please everyone at your table.
