Bring home the bacon and wrap some corn on the cob with the smoky flavors that are all the rage today. Our novel-tasting Corn on the Cob with Bacon and Herbed Butter will have everyone smiling from ear to ear!
What You'll Need
- 6 tablespoon butter, softened
- 4 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dillweed
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 ears fresh corn, husks removed
- 12 fully cooked slices bacon
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
What to Do
-
In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic, dillweed, black pepper, and salt. Rub butter mixture evenly over ears of corn. Cut each ear in half.
-
Wrap each half with 1 slice of bacon, and secure with wooden toothpicks. Place corn in a single layer in a 5-quart slow cooker (see Note). Add broth and bell pepper.
-
Cover and cook on LOW setting 3 hours or until corn is tender. Remove bacon before serving, if desired.
Notes
If all the ears of corn won't fit in a single layer in your slow cooker, it's okay to stack a few; they'll still cook.
