About
Creamed corn is already a wonderfully sunny side dish. Nothing could make it better... except for bacon, of course. Bacon Creamed Corn has all the richness and creaminess of its traditional cousin but with the fatty, savory flavor of bacon, infused throughout and with some crispy bacon bites thrown in for good measure. Sweet and summery, Bacon Creamed Corn goes well with barbecue, roast chicken, and virtually every main course you can think of!

- 8 slices bacon, chopped
- 3 cans corn, Mexican or Tex-Mex seasoned preferred, drained

- 1/2 cup half-and-half
