Recipe by Jodi Hanlon from allrecipes.com

Side Dish 1 Hr. 5 Mins.

Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 6 ears corn, husked and cleaned
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 large fresh tomato, chopped
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • salt to taste
  • cayenne pepper
  • 8 strips crisply cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 0.25 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  • Cut corn off the cobs by thinly slicing across the tops of the kernels; place in a medium bowl. Cut across the kernels again to release milk from the corn and add this to the bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and green pepper and cook until onion is transparent, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Combine corn, tomatoes, and milk with the onion mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes longer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Do not boil. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Lower heat, cover the skillet, and cook, 5 to 10 minutes longer.
  • Stir in bacon and green onions. Remove from heat and serve.
