Fried Corn Bev's Style


For a real treat, when you tire of the corn on the cob this summer, give my version of fried corn a try. It is very easy and takes little time while preparing the rest of the meal. My mom always fixed fried corn this way when i was growing up. She used milk, but the half and half gives it a little richer taste. Trust me, if you try this, you will want to have it again ; )

Steps


Fry the cut up bacon in a large cast iron skillet till just crisp.
While frying bacon , cut corn kernels off cob.
Remove cooked bacon and save for another recipe.
Empty all except 4 tbs bacon fat in pan.
If using onion , cook in bacon fat for a couple minutes on medium heat.
Add corn to skillet and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cook and stir on medium heat until just beginning to brown.
Add a little half and half and continue to cook , stirring , adding more liquid as it begins to evaporate.
Add only enough half and half or milk to give it a creamy texture.
If using half and half and the consistancy is too thick , add a little milk to thin.
Continue cooking on low , stirring every now and then , until corn is tender , maybe 10-15 minutes.
Check and adjust seasoning adding more salt and pepper as needed.
Serves 4.
