So, you ask, I deliver.
I had scheduled a different recipe to post today, but after all of the inquiries about this side dish that was in the photos on Monday’s chicken post, I thought I’d skip ahead and share this recipe with you.
There is a reason that all of you want this recipe. It’s just as good as it looks. Sure, it’s not an everyday indulgence, but man – when you do take that splurge, it’s totally worth it. I mean – you can’t go wrong with bacon and corn in a creamy sauce, right? I used frozen corn, but I know it would great with fresh corn. And since fresh corn is right around the corner, this will be a great recipe to have in your back pocket. I’m going to remember this one for family get togethers or summer parties. I’m sure I’ll be the favorite of the party for bringing this!!
- 6 slices bacon
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- salt and pepper
- 8 oz sour cream
- 3½ cups corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- chopped chives
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces. Cook until crisp; remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate.
- Add the chopped onion to the bacon drippings and cook until softened. Stir in the flour and the garlic and cook 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
- Stir the sour cream into the mixture. Add in the corn, the parsley and half of the reserved bacon. Pour into a 1-quart baking dish and top with the remaining bacon. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through.
- Sprinkle with chopped chives before serving.

Wowee, this is a great looking side dish! Corn & bacon is such a delicious combo. This dish screams potluck to me…but I know it’d be gone in no time at all 🙂
Yay! Was waiting for this one! It looks so easy and quick to which I love! Great for a bbq!
You had me at corn and casserole. I am addicted to corn right now and the addition of bacon, well; who can say no to bacon? I could eat this as a main by myself!
It really does look so good! What a perfect summer side for party or any night!
are you kidding me? You’re like crazy talented corn dish recipe lady. So yum!
Mmmm! I kinda want to eat this whole casserole as a meal itself, it looks so good!
I want to face plant in this casserole right now. Love corn and bacon!
Yes this dish is definitely a winner Deborah. I can’t wait for fresh corn and salsa and casseroles.
Corn and bacon are two of my favorite things, especially together. Love this idea!
That looks lovely!
Corn + bacon in a creamy casserole….what a perfect splurge!!
I eat corn almost every day in the summer. Now I have another way, but I best not make this too often. It looks so rich and splurge worthy (as you say) that it might become addicting. Well, I guess some addictions are better than others!
You must’ve had me in mind when making this because I love everything about it! Pass me a fork or a spoon so I can chow down? 🙂
Uh… WOW. This looks fantastic! What a great combination of ingredients. I adore fresh corn, and this would be a way to make it extra tasty 🙂
Thank you so much for posting this!!!! Josh is even drooling over it. I can’t wait to make this!
Looks great! I’d love to make it with Greek yogurt.
I usually question those who comment on a recipe before they have even tried it, but what not to love here! This is a keeper, no questions asked!
This is the stuff of my dreams!! It doesn’t get much better than summer corn and bacon as far as I’m concerned, this is going on my menu soon 🙂
WOW! I l love corn dishes. I never thought to add bacon – duh! Can’t wait to try it.
My heart is in love with casseroles. They’re just so perfect! Corn and bacon sounds like a real winner!!
So colorful and summery, I love it!
haha I can definitely see this being a HUGE crowd pleaser for my family!
This sounds SO good! We went to dinner at a friend’s house once and had something similar. When I asked her the recipe, she said she just threw it all together, sans recipe. I’m glad you have a recipe for me to follow! 🙂
No wonder people were begging for this recipe! It looks amazing and I can’t think of a very good reason why I wouldn’t eat it every day 🙂
OH MY FREAKIN WORD. This recipe is amazing. Corn and bacon are meant to be!
I cannot wait to make this! On the dinner list for next week!
Okay YUM. This looks fantastic!
Have I told you lately how much I adore your food photos? You are amazing girl! And this casserole looks awesome…which is saying a lot because I’m not a bacon lover 🙂
So glad you posted this early! Totally making it stat!
Oh, yes! This is my kind of casserole 🙂 looks so tasty!
My boyfriend would eat this entire batch!
Hi
Did you thaw the corn before you used it in this recipe.
My corn was still frozen – it thaws out as it cooks, although you could use it thawed as well.
