Dinner

Never had fried corn

It's one of my favorite side dishes.

We went to Joseph's for Mexican and I tried a stuffed sopapilla. It was gross, with too much going on. Would be better deconstructed so you can control the amount of goober. Very much like a frybread taco, which I don't care for either.

So how does one fry corn?

So how does one fry corn?

Merlin should post his recipe. Mine is:

Fry up about a half pound of chopped bacon, drain and set aside leaving about half the fat in the pan.
Add chopped yellow onion (and green pepper if you want it, which I don't) to bacon fat and fry until it starts getting brown.
Add corn to pan (ideally fresh corn cut from the cob, or thawed frozen will do) and stir-fry for 5 or 10 minutes until it starts browning.
Add bacon back to the pan, hit it with some salt and pepper to taste.

Then eat the whole pan and when your family says, "Where's the fried corn?" pretend you don't know what they're talking about.

Terrible accident on the bay bridge… Seems a tractor trailer full of Viagra wrecked and spilled its cargo into the bay!

No more softshell crabs this year!

Awesome, I will have to try it for sure

Fry two slices of bacon, remove the bacon leaving the drippings. Fry half a small chopped onion in the drippings. Slice the niblets off of two ears of corn then scrape the milk out and add to the pan. Add half a teaspoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add about a quarter cup of water to make it about the consistency of creamed corn. Add the crumbled bacon or eat it alone which is the way I went.

I just wanted to do something different with the corn, normally I just throw it on the grill.

make it about the consistency of creamed corn.

This is how my mom makes it and it's good, too.

Yup. This is why I don't post unless we're having something really good - our normal dinner is boring and sometimes dumb.

 

[my-thyme]

I meant to take a picture, but I was HUNGRY, and had a house full of people.

Fried chicken, grilled London Broil, parsley potatoes, green beans, sliced tomatoes, cucumber chunks, pumpkin bread. All the veggies from the garden. Goodbye, Summer!

S'ok. I had a couple of those frozen stuffed Barber chicken breast things tonight.

Smoked half of a fresh ham.....ran it through the meat slicer. Sammich fixins for the rest of the week too.

This sounded really good, so I just made a batch. omg.... I have no idea what I'm going to serve with it, but I may just eat a couple of bowlfuls of this on it's own. Kicked-Up Creamed Corn!

Just one note: I had to use frozen corn. If you do, defrost the corn first. If it's frozen it knocks down the pan heat and takes way too long to start browning.

And I used milk instead of water.

Thanx, @Merlin99

Made two kinds of quesadillas last night. Buffalo chicken and Ranch chicken.
