Ingredients

4 slices bacon, diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen and thawed)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy and the fat has rendered.
2This should take about 5-7 minutes.
3Remove the bacon from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
4Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet with the bacon fat and cook over medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent.
5This should take about 5 minutes.
6Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

10In a separate saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, butter, salt, black pepper, and sugar.
11Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a whisk, until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
12This should take about 5 minutes.
13Pour the cream mixture into the skillet with the corn, stirring to combine.
14Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
15The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.

17Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
18Serve the steakhouse creamed corn hot, garnished with additional chopped bacon or fresh herbs if desired.
