Cajun corn and bacon

Cajun corn and bacon

Ingredients

6 ears corn, husked and cleaned

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large onion, thinly sliced

1 large fresh tomato, chopped

¼ cup milk

salt to taste

cayenne pepper

8 strips crisply cooked bacon, crumbled

¼ cup chopped green onions

Directions Cut corn off the cobs by thinly slicing across the tops of the kernels; place in a medium bowl. Cut across the kernels again to release milk from the corn and add this to the bowl. Set aside.  Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until onion is transparent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Combine corn, tomatoes, and milk with the onion mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes longer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Do not boil. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Lower heat, cover the skillet, and cook, 5 to 10 minutes longer. Stir in bacon and green onions. Remove from heat and serve.
