Creating the Fresh Corn and Bacon Side Dish is straightforward with these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Corn: Husk the corn and remove the kernels using a sharp knife. Set aside.
2. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. This takes about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and let it drain on paper towels.
3. Sauté the Onion: In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-5 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
4. Add Corn: Stir the corn kernels into the skillet with the onion. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing them to become tender.
5. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and stir in the unsalted butter and heavy cream. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until heated through.
6. Season: Taste and season with salt and black pepper according to your preference.
7. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch.

These steps will golden brown the bacon, tender the corn, and meld the flavors beautifully.
