OMG! I made this Bacon Wrapped Grilled Corn on the Cob last week and my family is STILL raving. The corn didn’t taste like bacon, but it is so tender.

I have always soaked corn too, so I wasn’t surprised by how juicy and tender the kernels were.

Definitely cook the bacon first (not crispy), and use the string. A-MA-ZING!

Bacon Wrapped Grilled Corn on the Cob is one of my favorite backyard BBQ side dishes.

Course: Side Dish

Cuisine: American

Keyword: Bacon Wrapped Grilled Corn

Servings: 8

Calories: 225 kcal

Ingredients

• 8 ears corn
• 1 lb bacon
• water for soaking
• butcher string

Instructions

1. Carefully expose the corn kernels by pulling back the husk, but do NOT remove the husk. Remove the corn silk (you can use a soft brush to ensure that all the silk is removed).
2. Put water in a large container, add the corn, and soak the corn in the husks for 30 minutes. This will help to prevent the husks from charring on the grill.
3. Preheat grill to medium temperature.
4. Slightly precook the bacon. (Not crispy)
5. Remove the soaked corn from the water and pat dry.
6. Wrap strips of bacon around the corn kernels on each ear; fold the husks back over the bacon and kernels.
7. Tie the husks down with butcher string; repeat with all ears of corn.
8. Grill over medium coals/heat, turning occasionally, for about 15 to 20 minutes and until the bacon is cooked and the corn is tender.
9. Cut the butcher string away from the husks and serve.

Enjoy!

Frizzled Cabbage is super simple and super delicious. I just love the natural flavor this recipe brings out of the cabbage, plus it’s so quick to prepare.

It raises the lowly cabbage to something extraordinary!

This technique of sauteing brings out a wonderful sweetness you never knew existed in cabbage.

You can add different spices to this recipe: curry, caraway seeds, or hot pepper sauce are just suggestions. It’s also nice with slivered carrots. But try it plain first!

What a good recipe for us cabbage lovers!

This Slow Cooker Caramelized Onions recipe transforms the onions into a savory, almost sweet golden-brown tango. Super technique for caramelized onions.

Sweet onions like Vidalia will caramelize a little faster, but any onion will work.

I love caramelized onions as a side-dish for any meat dish or scattered over a pizza. Also good on hamburgers and scrambled eggs.

Plus you gotta have them if you want to make French Onion Soup!

The balsamic vinegar gives these onions just the perfect touch.
