What a yummy combo. I used more bacon, and less water and bacon grease, since I used Trader Joe's precooked bacon (it doesn't release very much fat when crisped in the pan).

I'm giving this a five because DH just loved it! He wants bacon with his corn now all of the time.
Made exactly as directed and wouldn't change a thing!
RIP PapaD. You are greatly missed.
