Bacon-Wrapped Corn on the Cob

2.5

(1)

We have found that bacon gives the corn a nice smoky flavor, but it doesn't get brown and crispy. You can either eat it with the corn or peel it off.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

4 ears corn, unhusked
4 slices bacon
Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Prepare a grill for low direct heat.

    Step 2

    2. Peel back the cornhusks but do not remove them. Pull out and discard all the silk. Working from top to bottom, wrap a strip of bacon in a spiral around each ear of corn. Season with pepper. Pull the husk back over the corn. Wrap a piece of foil tightly around the top 1 1/2 inches of the ear of corn. (Or use a piece of kitchen twine soaked in water to tie the tops of the cornhusks closed.)

    Step 3

    3. Grill the corn about 10 minutes or until the husks are brown all over, turning occasionally. Let corn cool for 5 minutes before serving.
