Baked Cream Cheese Corn with Crumbled Bacon
Recipe by Becky Tarala from The Two Bite Club
Serves 6
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large, high-sided skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon and place on a paper towel lined plate. Discard bacon drippings.
Reduce heat to medium and add the butter to the pan. Sauté onion in the butter until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add cream cheese to the pan a little at a time, stirring continuously until the cream cheese is smooth and softened. Add ½ cup grated parmesan cheese and black pepper. Crumble 8 slices of the bacon and add to cream cheese mixture.
Add Libby's® Whole Kernel Sweet Corn and mix well. Pour corn mixture into a buttered 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining 2 tablespoon parmesan and drizzle with melted butter or olive oil.
Bake in oven for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and garnish with remaining 4 strips of bacon crumbles. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
