Amy made this for our Thanksgiving dinner this year and while I'm not a huge fan of corn, I was smitten with this. It was probably one of my favorite dishes on the table, so much so that I made it again for Christmas dinner. It could be eaten any time of the year though... it is seriously delicious.
Creamy Confetti Corn with Bacon
Mel's Kitchen Cafe
2 12-ounce packages frozen corn kernels, white or yellow
1/2 cup chopped onion, white, yellow or red
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, light or regular, cubed
1-2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4 green onions, green parts finely chopped (white parts discarded)
In a large nonstick skillet, cook the chopped bacon until golden and crisp. Scoop the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and discard all the bacon grease except for a thin coating on the pan, maybe a teaspoon or so.
Add the corn, onion, and red pepper, and cook over medium heat, stirring every so often, until the vegetables are tender and the corn is heated through, 6-8 minutes. Add the cream cheese and milk, stirring until the cream cheese melts and the mixture is evenly combined.
Stir in the sugar, salt, and pepper. Add more salt to taste if needed. Stir in the green onions.
Serve warm topped with the reserved bacon.
