Step by stepInstructions

Cook the bacon in a large skillet until crisp; remove, leaving the fat.
Cook the onion in the fat until soft, about 3 minutes.
Add the corn, butter, sugar, salt, and pepper; cook 8-10 minutes, stirring, until the corn is tender and lightly browned.
Stir in the cream and simmer 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Top with the bacon and serve hot.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Scraping the cobs after cutting releases the milky sweetness — don't skip it. Fresh corn in season is worth the effort.
