Directions

Gather all ingredients.

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 green pepper and cook until onion is tender, 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.

Cook’s Note

It won't taste quite the same, but you could use frozen or canned corn to make this when fresh corn is out of season.
