Notes
- Fresh corn kernels will work best for this recipe. However, if you only have frozen or canned corn on hand, they will also be fine. Be sure to first defrost (if using frozen) or drain (if using canned) before using.
- Depending on how fatty your bacon is, you might have more bacon grease than is needed. Adjust the amount you use according to your dietary requirements.
- You can also use ham in place of bacon if you have leftovers from holiday dinners too.
