The richness of bacon and the bite of scallions complement the sweetness of corn kernels in this hearty side dish.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch strips

  • 4 cups corn kernels

  • Coarse salt and ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes.
