Creating Fresh Corn and Bacon Side Dish is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until it’s crispy. Remove it from the pan and place it on paper towels to drain excess grease.

2. Sauté the Onion: In the same skillet, using the leftover bacon fat, add the diced onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until they become translucent.

3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

4. Add Corn: Add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet and mix well. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn becomes tender but still retains its crispness.

5. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked bacon to the skillet with the corn and onions. Stir everything together until well combined.

6. Finish: Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, coating the corn and bacon mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Garnish: For an optional finishing touch, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish before serving.

This quick recipe ensures that the flavors marry beautifully while allowing the freshness of the corn and the richness of the bacon to shine through.
