Ingredients
4
cups
fresh corn kernels
scraped off the cob (about 6 ears)
4
slices
thick cut bacon
diced
2
tablespoons
butter
1/2
teaspoon
salt
1/4
teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
1
teaspoon
granulated sugar
fresh chives, parsley

Instructions
Place the diced bacon into a large heavy-duty skillet or cast iron pan and cook medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes.
Remove the bacon pieces from the pan and set on a paper towel to drain.
Drain the bacon grease from the pan, leaving 1-2 tablespoons remaining in the pan.
Heat the grease and the butter over medium-low heat until foamy.
Add the fresh corn kernels in an even layer.
Fry the corn, stirring occasionally.
If needed lower the heat if necessary to keep the butter and the corn from burning
Fry until the corn is light golden in places, about 13-15 minutes. Add in the cooked bacon.
Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and if desired, the sugar to sweeten it a bit.
Garnish with fresh minced chives or freshly minced parsley if desired.
Notes
Sugar is optional but if you are person that likes sweet cornbread, you will probably like it in this dish!
If desired you can leave out the bacon!
