Spicy Chipotle Skillet Corn with Bacon is one of the best side dish recipes for any occasion.
This skillet corn recipe is going to knock your socks off. Not only is it delicious but it's incredibly easy to make!
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!

Spicy Chipotle Skillet Corn with Bacon
Ingredients
- ½ lbs bacon cut into small cubes
- 1 cup red onion diced
- 3 tbsp butter
- 4 cups corn fresh, canned or frozen
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash ground pepper
- ½ tsp chipotle spice more or less to taste
- fresh parsley if desired
Instructions
- 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.
- Now add the butter and let it start to melt and sizzle a bit.
- Toss in your corn and stir it around, let everything come together and cook. If corn is not already cooked then you will want to cook it for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until edges start to brown.
- Add your salt, pepper and chipotle spice. Stir until incorporated evenly.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl.
- Toss parsley over top just before serving if desired.
- Serve with extra bacon.

Great looking dish! I always make too much corn, too, so I'm always looking for new recipes. This looks terrific - thanks!

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.
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks so much. I love a bit of heat and have to remember to keep myself from over doing it. lol

Kimmy, this looks crazy good.
Makes me think of cowboys sittin' around a fire under the stars, cookin' up some gruuuuuuuub.

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.

My inlaws brought over 2 dozen ears of corn this week. 24 cobs. I am definitely make this dish.
Kim Beaulieu
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.
Laura
If made this I would eat it until I exploded. That looks seriously good.
Kim Beaulieu
Pretty much what I did with it, lol. Thanks Laura.

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