Parmesan and Bacon Creamed Corn

Luxuriously rich corn with heavy cream, Parmesan cheese and bacon. A super quick and easy side dish that will steal the show away from any entrée!

As a kid I loved to eat creamed corn mixed up with mashed potatoes. Creamed corn out of a can. Being the only type I ever knew I never minded. I know better now.

Even though fresh corn is not in season in my neck of the woods frozen is a perfectly acceptable substitute in this decidedly winter-ish side dish. Warm and hearty, it screams loud and clear of comfort food.

The fatty bite of the bacon. The natural, inherent sweetness of the corn. Salty, nutty Parmesan. Silky heavy cream.

Forget the side dish I’m eating it by the bowl full!

    Pinned it and can’t wait to try this. Fantastic side dish but I might be tempted to add some half and half to turn it into a soup!
