Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 32 ounce frozen corn
- 8 ounce cream cheese, cut into 1" cubes
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (be careful not to over salt)
- 6 slice bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure the cream cheese is cut into 1" cubes, the bacon is cooked and crumbled, and the frozen corn is ready to go.
- In a large skillet or pan, combine the frozen corn, cream cheese cubes, heavy cream, butter, sugar, black pepper, and kosher salt.
- Place the skillet over medium heat. Stir the ingredients occasionally to ensure the cream cheese melts evenly and combines with the other ingredients. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Once the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, stir in the crumbled bacon. Mix well to distribute the bacon evenly throughout the corn.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Your Cream Corn with Bacon is now ready to be served! Enjoy it hot as a delicious side dish that complements any meal.
