    I love corn. Like full on stalker type love. I cannot get enough of it.

    You can make this skillet corn with fresh, frozen or canned corn. Fresh corn is perfection if that's an option.

    If you're using fresh corn just boil or grill, then take the kernels off the cob. Then, you can use the kernels for the skillet corn.

    Just cook them in butter with bacon and onions. Then sprinkle a touch of chipotle spice over the top for a bit of heat.

    Honestly, this recipe is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter or any occasion you want a delicious side dish!

    • In a large skillet cook your bacon pieces and onions together. You want to cook over medium heat until the bacon browns and the onions start to caramelize. This should take about 10 to 15 minutes.

    • Toss parsley over top just before serving if desired.
    • Serve with extra bacon.

        Thanks so much John. I love corn and I swear I always over estimate how much we'll eat. This was just as addictive as eating it off the cob.

      You are so right - the perfect dish for corn season! Corn, bacon and chipotle - I can't think of a better combination of flavors right now.

        Thanks Colette. It really does remind me of that too. I can now picture myself eating this on the range. If I, you know, ever go out on the range.

        Ha, we did too. My hubs knows how much I love golden nugget so he tends to get carried away. He forgot I was going away and couldn't eat corn before the trip. So I had to get creative with the leftovers. Corn irritates IBS something awful so I need to be careful when I eat it.

      How would you cook fresh corn on the cob to be able to use for this recipe?

        I boil my corn on the cob most of the time. About 8 minutes in salted, boiling water. Or you can grill corn on the cob. You can check out my grilling site for how to do it on the grill- http://kissmysmoke.com/grilled-corn-on-the-cob-how-to-cook-it-with-husks-on/. Hope that helps. xx
