Steps:
- Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown, but still soft. Stir in onion and green bell peppers, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir corn into skillet, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Do not drain grease from bacon - that is the secret to the flavor.

PAN-ROASTED CORN AND TOMATO SALAD
You can take a corn and tomato salad in a number of directions, but at the end of the day it shouldn't be much more than a dish you can make perfectly only in mid- to late summer, and one that showcases its primary ingredients. My version here marries corn and tomatoes with chile, avocado, cilantro and lime. It is just plain good. At the end, you've got meaty smokiness from bacon; that incredible sweetness of corn; the fruity acidity of tomato; the tender, smooth fattiness of avocado, and the sharpness of chile. It's a summer winner, one that you shouldn't even try after the first frost.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe corn and tomatoes for the best flavor.
- If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but fresh corn will give you the best results.
- Be sure to drain the canned corn well before adding it to the skillet.
- If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a large nonstick skillet.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet, or the vegetables will steam instead of fry.
- Season the vegetables generously with salt and pepper.
- Add a little bit of sugar to help balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Cook the vegetables over medium heat until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Serve the vegetables immediately, or they will lose their crispness.
