Fried Cream Corn

Cook the Bacon
In a cast iron or heavy skillet over medium to medium-high heat, brown the bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside.

Prepare the Corn Mixture
While the bacon cooks, mix the corn, salt, black pepper, sugar, and flour in a large bowl. Stir well to combine.

Cook the Corn
Pour the corn mixture into the bacon-drippings skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Add Cream and Butter
After about 15 minutes, add the butter and half-and-half. Stir to combine and continue cooking for a few more minutes.

Add Bacon and Finish
Return the cooked bacon to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes until the bacon is heated through.

Serve Warm
Serve hot alongside your favorite meat, green vegetable, and fresh bread. Enjoy!
