🍵 How To Make Michael Symon Creamed Corn With Bacon?
- Cook the frozen corn according to the package instructions. If using fresh corn, cook it and then cut it off the cob. Make sure to drain off any extra liquid.
- While the corn is cooking, cook the bacon in a skillet or oven until crispy. If using the oven, preheat it to 400 degrees and cook the bacon for about 20 minutes. Set it aside to drain on a paper towel-lined plate, then cut it into small bite-size pieces.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. If using red onion, add it now and cook until tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the flour to make a paste. Have your other ingredients ready to quickly add in. Stir in the corn to coat it.
- Add the heavy cream, salt, and sugar. Place the skillet back on medium-low heat and cook until it starts to thicken, about 10-14 minutes. You may want to reduce the heat to low. Stir often.
- Add the cheese a small amount at a time, allowing it to melt before adding more. Taste for seasonings and add more salt if needed.
- Stir in half of the bacon, reserving the other half to sprinkle on top of the creamed corn.
- If desired, drizzle with some spicy hot honey for a touch of sweetness.
- Give it a final stir to make sure everything is well combined.
