Annie’s Fried Corn

Once upon a time there was a cook named Annie. She made bland, boiled food. Her husband, JP, loved her, so he ate it, thanked her, and went on with life. One day, Annie discovered spices, butter, and bacon. Life as he knew it, changed for JP. From time to time, I am still able to surprise him.

A few nights ago, I whipped up some fried corn. JP sat down at the table and the following conversation occurred….JP: “What did you do to the corn?” Me: “What do you mean?” JP: “What is in the corn?” Me: “Butter and bacon.” JP: (almost knocks down the rest of supper to get to the corn.)

I figured if it got that type of reaction from JP, I had better share it with the rest of y’all.

Annie’s Fried Corn

• Grab a skillet. Throw a couple of tablespoons of butter in it. Melt.
• Throw ½ cup of bacon crumples in the butter. If you don’t have bacon crumbles, fry up 4 or 5 pieces of bacon and crumble into pan. If you are feeling extra saucy, leave the bacon fat in the pan.
• Add sweet corn. This can be straight off the cob, freezer corn, or canned corn. Whatever you have on hand. Stir.
• Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add ¾ cup of milk. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove from heat.

I have found that this is a great dish for carry-ins. It is also great as warmed up left-overs. I hope your family loves it as much as mine does!

Enjoy your evening, my lovelies!
