Ingredients:
- 8 slices of bacon
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/3 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
- 1 cup cream cheese (cubed)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions:
-
Cook the Bacon: Begin by frying the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until they are crisp and golden brown. Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain and become crispy. Set aside.
-
Prepare the Skillet: Carefully pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings from the skillet. This will ensure that the flavors from the bacon infuse into your vegetables.
-
Cook the Vegetables: In the remaining bacon drippings, add the corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, diced green bell pepper, and finely chopped onion. Sauté these ingredients over medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the onions become translucent.
-
Add Creamy Ingredients: Reduce the heat to low. Add the cubed cream cheese and half-and-half cream to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is creamy and smooth.
-
Season to Taste: Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir well to combine all the flavors, ensuring that the seasoning is evenly distributed.
-
Finish with Bacon: Crumble the reserved crispy bacon over the top of the creamy corn mixture. Give it a gentle stir to mix the bacon in.
-
Serve: Transfer the Confetti Corn to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy the delightful crunch of bacon paired with the creamy, colorful vegetables!
