Bacon-Wrapped Corn On The Cob Is The Ultimate Flavor Upgrade
By Kuamel Stewart
Bacon is beloved for its delicious, savory flavor and can be combined with other foods to elevate them. Wrapping corn on the cob with bacon is a simple and worthwhile upgrade.
Cover your corn on the cob with fresh strips of bacon and wrap it in aluminum foil before grilling it. The result is a delicious, crunchy, sweet, smoky, and salty ear of corn.
Fresh, grilled corn on the cob has a mild to moderately sweet flavor, which compliments the salty, smoky bacon. The texture of the juicy corn also pairs well with the crispy bacon.
Before wrapping the corn with bacon, try rubbing it with garlic butter and fresh herbs, or spice things up with a fiery Cajun seasoning blend or sriracha butter for extra heat.
A simple way to add sweetness to the corn is with a tangy barbecue sauce, or to brush the corn with your go-to sweet chili sauce before wrapping it with bacon and grilling it.
