This Garlic Bacon Cheesy Corn recipe was born from a desire to use up leftover ingredients and my personal favorite additions! It turned out so incredibly delicious that we finished it all in one sitting. Give it a try – it’s a guaranteed hit!
Main Ingredients
- 1 can corn, drained
- 4 strips bacon, chopped
- 2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 200g mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Topping
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly drain the canned corn using a sieve. Removing excess moisture is key to achieving a richer, more delicious cheesy corn.
Step 2
In a frying pan over medium heat, add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. I find it easiest to cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces with kitchen scissors before frying.
Step 3
Once the bacon is nicely crisped, add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté alongside the bacon.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low immediately, as minced garlic can burn quickly. Sauté just until fragrant and slightly golden, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, to bring out its aroma without bitterness.
Step 5
Add the drained corn to the pan and stir-fry with the bacon and garlic for about 2 minutes, allowing the corn to absorb the flavors.
Step 6
Keeping the heat on low, add the butter and sugar. Stir until the butter is completely melted and well combined with the corn mixture. This step adds a lovely sweetness and richness.
Step 7
Generously sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top, followed by a pinch of black pepper for extra flavor.
Step 8
Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook on very low heat until the cheese is fully melted, about 3-5 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 9
Once the cheese has melted beautifully, sprinkle with dried parsley for a final touch. Your delicious Garlic Bacon Cheesy Corn is ready to be enjoyed!
