This charred skillet corn with bacon is a great way to use up any leftover corn on the cob you have during corn season. The addition of bacon takes this side dish recipe to the next level!

I love corn on the cob. We eat it constantly when it’s in season. I tend to have “my eyes are bigger than my stomach” syndrome and always end up cooking too many ears of corn. So this is one of the ways I’ll use that leftover corn. I swear I make extra sometimes just so I can make this dish.

Skillet corn is something I make often. I have a similar recipe on my other site for Spicy Chipotle Skillet Corn with Bacon that I made last year for Bacon Month. Skillet corn is a classic dish. Something quick and easy, always more fun to make in a cast iron skillet.

My cast iron skillet makes a regular appearance on my grill. They distribute heat evenly which I love. Just be careful to keep something nearby for the handle. You don’t want to grab that bad boy when it’s scorching hot.

I think sometimes people think they can only cook things directly on the grill grates. That couldn’t be further from the truth. I use all kinds of cookware on my grill. Cast iron skillets, cookie sheets, casserole dishes, pie plates, not everything that goes on the grill needs to be in aluminum pans. They are great because they are disposable but sometimes it’s nice to use something a bit nicer.

I hope you get a chance to make this. It’s simple, quick and perfect for using up your leftover corn on the cob. Now go stock up on some bacon. You’ll want to make this every day during corn season.

Course Side Dish
Cuisine American
Keyword corn recipe, skillet corn with bacon
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound of bacon cut into large pieces
  • 4 to 6 ears of corn on the cob leftover so already cooked
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick of butter (NOT MARGARINE!)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill to a medium heat.
  • On one side of the grill place the corn on the cob and allow it to char slightly. You want it to just gets bits of black here and there. Remove from grill and allow to cool slightly. Then use a knife or corn tool to remove the kernels. Place them in a bowl and set aside.
  • Pop the bacon in a skillet and allow to cook until it's almost crisp, but not quite. This should take maybe 8 to 10 minutes depending on your heat.
  • Add the corn to the pan and stir it around to mix it in with the bacon. Allow to cook for about 5 to 8 minutes. You want it to just heat up and start to brown on the edges just slightly.
  • Add the butter, cook for about 5 minutes. You want to allow it to melt and mix with the corn and bacon perfectly.
  • Sprinkle some salt and pepper over top.
  • Remove carefully from the grill.
  • Transfer to a bowl.
  • Serve with a big old bacon loving smile.

    I love this recipe! We have incredible corn in spades right now, but the family is getting a little tired of eating it on the cob. Also, even though our grill is big enough, we haven’t gotten around to using a skillet for grilling. Adding this great recipe to my weekend grill plans immediately.

      I felt the same way during corn season. You end up eating it so much you almost get tired of it. I love using my skillet on the grill. I slide it over the side and lean the handle on the rim so when I close the lid it doesn’t tip. Works awesome.

      Thanks Stephanie. It works perfectly with frozen corn. I make this year round and always use frozen or canned corn during winter months. It’s SO good. Hope you love it.
