BBQ Bacon Wrapped Corn on the Cob
Description
This recipe prepares fresh corn on the cob wrapped in bacon slices to infuse the kernels with rich pork flavor during cooking. Each ear is seasoned liberally with BBQ rub, providing a smoky, spicy layer complementary to the bacon’s saltiness. The foil wrapping traps steam as the corn roasts in the oven at 375 degrees, softening the kernels while slowly crisping the bacon during an initial roasting period. After this, unwrapping and returning the corn to the oven crisps the bacon further without drying out the corn.
The final dish offers tender, juicy corn with a smoky bacon exterior and a touch of spice from the seasoning. It serves as a hearty side for grilled meats or BBQ dinners. The method is convenient since the foil packets reduce cleanup and keep the bacon flavor infused deeply.
Serving suggestions include pairing this corn with other BBQ-inspired sides such as coleslaw or baked beans. It can be eaten with hands, making it a practical addition to outdoor gatherings or casual dinners.
