Ingredients

12 ears fresh corn, shucked
4 slices thick slab bacon
1/2 stick butter
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Remove corn from cobs by using a corn grater or knife, and mash the whole kernels a little. Slice bacon into 1-inch pieces. Cook bacon until brown in a large skillet. Remove bacon from skillet and add 1/2 stick butter to bacon grease. Over medium-high heat, pour in the corn. Fry in the grease and butter mixture. Lower the temperature and cook for 5 minutes, then put on simmer until corn is done, 10 to 15 minutes. Add black pepper, to taste. If corn seems too dry, add a little milk or water.

A Real Keeper
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made fried corn for years and this was the best. Bacon drippings and butter really make the dish. When I microwave... the corn be shucking, it dries the corn out, so I use half and half for the creamy part. I sometimes saute onion in the bacon drippings, it's very, very good. Read more

I think the most difficult part for this recipe is getting the corn off the cob. Fresh corn was expensive, so I bought 3... fresh and 2 can to make this one. Everyone liked it. I did cooked the fresh corn first until it was similar texture as the can corn. Read more

How to make this with Frozen Corn
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Here in Florida, corn is WAY out of season at the holidays. 12 ears of corn would have cost me $12 at Thanksgiving. So,... you'll need 12 servings of frozen corn (just look at the serving size on the side of the bag -- I needed 1 bag plus 1 1/3 cup from another). Put about half of your corn into a food process and pulse until the corn gets pasty -- thus releasing the "milk". Then follow Paula's instructions. I added cream and milk to get the right consistency and some salt. Tastes just like my Nonna used to make. The whole house smells like her kitchen from my memories. Thank you Paula Deen!Read more
