BA'CORN CHEESE CORN

Ba'corn Cheese Corn image

This bacon-studded 'cheese corn' is a popular bar snack in Korea, made of pure bacon-y, creamy, cheesy, corny decadence. The original recipe uses a combination of mayonnaise and sweetened condensed milk, but we're going with heavy cream here for a lighter approach. This may be the first time in my career that I've 'lightened up' a recipe by adding a cup of heavy cream. Garnished with green onions, this would be amazing with a cold beer!

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package bacon, chopped
2 (16 ounce) packages frozen sweet corn, thawed
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch green onions, sliced
2 jalapeno peppers, diced, or more to taste
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 cup heavy cream
2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

Cook bacon in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until almost crisp and fat is rendered, 7 to 8 minutes.
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Drain frozen corn thoroughly in a colander. Add 1/2 of the corn to the skillet with the bacon. Cook and stir until kernels just start to turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, green onions, and jalapenos; cook until vegetables start to soften and sweeten up, 3 to 4 minutes. Tilt pan to drain off some of the fat, using a paper towel to soak it up.
Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Pour in cream; stir and bring to a boil. Stir in the remaining corn until heated through. Turn off the heat and add about 2/3 of the mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir to combine. Top corn with remaining cheese and a sprinkle of cayenne.
Broil until heated through and top is browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

VEGETARIAN CORN DOG CASSEROLE

Vegetarian Corn Dog Casserole image

This casserole tastes just like a corn dog, only better, thanks to the addition of cheese, celery, green onions, and spices. This is a very tasty, kid-friendly dish. Since we became vegetarians, we use veggie hot dogs instead of meat in the recipe. The recipe makes 12 servings, but you can cut the recipe down to the size you need.
