This is a Cajun recipe I've had forever! I first prepared it when I was in my high school class in Metairie, Louisiana. It's awesome!

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ears corn, husked and cleaned
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1 large fresh tomato, chopped
¼ cup milk
salt to taste
cayenne pepper
¼ cup chopped green onions
8 strips crisply cooked bacon, crumbled

Steps:

  • Cut corn off the cobs by thinly slicing across the tops of the kernels; place in a medium bowl. Cut across the kernels again to release milk from the corn, add milk to bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and green pepper, cook until onion is transparent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Combine corn, tomatoes, and milk with the onion mixture. Reduce heat to medium low, and cook 20 minutes longer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Do not boil. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Lower heat, cover skillet, and cook 5 to 10 minutes longer. Stir in green onions and bacon. Remove from heat and serve.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. I usually have some leftover after a cookout, and this is a great way to use it up.

I love how versatile this dish is. I've made it with different types of corn (fresh, frozen, and canned) and it's always turned out great. I've also added different vegetables, like zucchini and mushrooms.

This was my first time making maque choux and it turned out great! The recipe was easy to follow and the dish was full of flavor. I especially liked the addition of bacon, which gave it a nice smoky flavor.
