So What Makes This Version so Good?
The cream cheese. This recipe is all about that generous dose of cream cheese. It makes it creamy and lightly tangy and just perfectly delicious! It just pairs perfectly with the sweet corn. Then of course the addition of bacon is a total upgrade on classic creamed corn.
Tips for Creamed Corn
If you like that slightly pureed cream corn just use an emulsion blender to blitz it up a bit before you add in the green onions and bacon. During summer months feel free to use fresh corn in this recipe when you’ve got some around to use up. You can cook bacon in the microwave between layers of paper towels for simplicity. Just layer a few paper towels on a plate, top with the bacon in a single layer, top with a few more paper towels then cook on high until crisp (it usually takes about 4 minutes or so but varies based on the microwave wattage and thickness of the bacon).
