- Cook the Bacon
Place a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add chopped bacon.
Cook until crispy, about 6–8 minutes, then transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Leave the bacon fat in the pan. - Sauté the Veggies
Add 1 diced red onion and 1 diced jalapeño to the skillet with the bacon drippings.
Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. - Char the Corn
Add the fresh corn kernels and 1 tbsp butter to the skillet. Stir occasionally and allow some kernels to lightly char for added smokiness.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. - Finish and Serve
Stir the crispy bacon back into the skillet, squeeze in the juice of half a lime, and toss everything together.
Top with chopped cilantro if desired and serve hot alongside your BBQ mains.
This simple skillet dish brings sweet, spicy, and savory together in a way that always hits the mark.
