| 2 | Jalapeno Chiles |
| 1/2 | Cup Tomatoes |

Instructions:

If using bacon, gently cook it in a heavy-bottomed 4-quart pot over medium heat until it just begins to turn crispy, approximately 8 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside for later use.
-
Remove some of the excess bacon fat, leaving about a tablespoon in the pot. Alternatively, if using butter, simply melt it in the pot.

Stir in the onions, garlic, and chiles into the bacon fat or melted butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring every couple of minutes, until the onions become translucent but not browned, about 6 minutes.
-
Add the tomatoes, heavy cream, reserved bacon, and the corn kernels to the pot. Allow the mixture to simmer for approximately 10 minutes, or until the corn is heated through, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Stir in the fresh cilantro and cook for an additional 2 minutes to infuse the flavors.
-
Season the creamed corn to your taste with salt and pepper.
