You’ve heard it said again and again: Everything is better with bacon.
It is!
This weekend, why not add a little bacon to your barbecue and enjoy your corn on the cob with a new bacony twist!
Here is all you need:
- Fresh (Local) Corn on the Cob
- Bacon
- Salt, pepper
- (Optional) Smoked Paprika
Let’s start cooking:
- Fire up the grill. You want it to be very hot.
- Peel the husks off the corn and make sure you remove as much silk as possible
- Wrap with bacon (1 -2 pieces depending on the size of the ears of corn)
- Season with salt and pepper or paprika to taste
- Wrap the corn with foil and place on hot grill
Close the lid and let that bacon do it’s thing!
Roll the corn about 1/3 turn every 4 minutes (approximate cooking time). Just listen to the popping and sizzling from inside the foil pack! YUM!
NOTE: Bacon fat is flammable. Keep an eye on the foil packs!
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
