A side dish that combines the flavors of sizzling bacon, sweet honey butter, and tender corn with a kick from jalapeños.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen corn)
6 slices bacon
2 jalapeños, diced (seeds removed for less heat)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Leave the bacon fat in the skillet for flavor.
Add the diced jalapeños to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and slightly softened.
Stir in the corn kernels, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes until the corn is tender and heated through.
In a small bowl, mix together the butter and honey until well combined. Pour this mixture over the corn and jalapeños, stirring to coat everything evenly.
Crumble the crispy bacon and add it to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
Cook for another minute until everything is heated through, then remove from heat and serve warm.
