Bacon Wrapped Grilled Corn on the Cob

Along with my corn today I have cooked up a Smithfield Peppercorn and Garlic Tenderloin that is going to be perfect with this.

Serves: 6
Cook Time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients

• 3 slices of Smithfield Bacon
• 3 ears corn

Steps

Gently pull back the husk exposing the corn. Do not remove the husk. Remove the corn silk and use a brush to make sure all the silk is removed. Bring husks back up around corn and soak the corn with the silks removed in cold water for 30 minutes. This will prevent the husks from charring. Preheat a grill to medium heat. Remove from the water and pat dry. Gently pull husks back from the corn. Take a strip of bacon and wrap it around the corn. Fold the corn leaves back over, covering the bacon and corn. Tie the leaves with string and repeat the process for each ear of corn. (Trim the string so it doesn't fall into the fire.) Place the ears of corn on the hot grill and cook, turning occasionally until bacon is cooked and corn is tender, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with Smithfield Marinated Peppercorn and Garlic Pork Tenderloin.
