Labor Day: Bacon-Wrapped Corn on the Cob

Source of Recipe


From "The Deen Bros. Cookbook" by Jamie and Bobby Deen



List of Ingredients



• 4 ears corn, unhusked
  
• 4 slices bacon
  
• Freshly ground black pepper
  






Instructions



1. Prepare a grill for low direct heat.
   
   
2. Peel back the cornhusks but do not remove them. Pull out and discard all the silk. Working from top to bottom, wrap a strip of bacon in a spiral around each ear of corn. Season with pepper. Pull the husk back over the corn. Wrap a piece of foil tightly around the top 1½ inches of the ear of corn. (Or use a piece of kitchen twine soaked in water to tie the tops of the cornhusks closed.)
   
   
3. Grill the corn about 10 minutes, or until the husks are brown all over, turning occasionally. Let corn cool for 5 minutes before serving.
   
   Makes 4 servings.
