A delightful twist on a classic, this creamy bacon corn skillet is a quick and flavorful dish perfect for any occasion.
Cut the kernels off the corn ears and set them aside.
Use a sharp knife and a steady hand to safely remove the kernels.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and crumble.
Cook the bacon evenly by flipping it occasionally.
In the same skillet, sauté the corn kernels in the bacon drippings until lightly browned.
Stir the corn frequently to prevent sticking.
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt.
Ensure the butter is fully melted before proceeding.
Sprinkle the flour over the corn and stir until combined. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
Add the milk slowly to avoid lumps in the sauce.
Stir in the crumbled bacon and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the creamy bacon corn skillet warm and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color.
