keep calm and eat bacon creamed corn

Thanksgiving is right around the corner…can you believe it?  I know I can’t!!  My sis-in-law is hosting this year and that means I am only responsible for a few sides, but I want to make sure they are super delicious and something special that everyone will love.  And in my family creamed corn is just that, but I wanted to make it even better with some BACON!

If you were to ask The Hubby what is favorite foods are bacon would be the top 3 so anytime there is bacon in something I almost guaranteed he will love it, and this side was defiantly a winner.  

Now creamed corn is delicious on its own, but with bacon it is taken to next level for sure.  It is a little sweet, with a little hit of salt, rich and creamy all in one, making it a perfect side dish.  

So my MeeMaw would make creamed corn for my brothers every time we went to the farm to visit her and my Grandad.  It was one of her signature dishes for sure.  I was older when I really started to appreciate just how good this creamed corn dish really is, but once I did I now LOVE it, especially with bacon in it!

For Thanksgiving I will may keep it traditional without the bacon, in memory of my MeeMaw but trust me this Bacon Creamed Corn will definitely be making an appearance at many future family dinners.

Rich, creamy, and full of bacon sounds like a perfect side dish to me.
