 https://www.melskitchencafe.com/creamy-confetti-corn/


INGREDIENTS

  • 8 slices baconchopped
  • 2 packages (12-ounces each) frozen corn kernelswhite or yellow
  • ½ cup chopped onionwhite, yellow or red
  • ½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 8-ounce package cream cheese, light or regular, cubed
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 green onionsgreen parts finely chopped (white parts discarded)

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • In a large nonstick skillet, cook the chopped bacon until golden and crisp. Scoop the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate and discard all the bacon grease except for a thin coating on the pan, maybe a teaspoon or so.
  • Add the corn, onion, and red pepper, and cook over medium heat, stirring every so often, until the vegetables are tender and the corn is heated through, 6-8 minutes. Add the cream cheese and milk, stirring until the cream cheese melts and the mixture is evenly combined.
  • Stir in the sugar, salt and pepper. Add more salt to taste if needed. Stir in the green onions.
  • Serve warm topped with the reserved bacon.
  • This dish can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Scoop the creamy corn mixture into an oven-safe dish, sprinkle with the bacon and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator. When ready to eat, heat the corn dish in a 325 degree oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through.
