After making this Homemade Creamed Corn with Jalapenos and Bacon you can skip the canned creamed corn because this version is rich and creamy and smoky and spicy from the added bacon and jalapeno.

Homemade Creamed Corn with Jalapenos and Bacon

When it comes to the holidays, everyone wants comfort food, and nothing is more comforting than homemade creamed corn. The canned stuff can’t hold a candle to this rich and creamy corn. I love corn like this, as you can tell from my other corn recipes, such as Instant Pot Corn Chowder, and Mexican Street Corn Salad.

It is one of the most popular side dishes for Thanksgiving and other holidays for many families, including ours. It goes really well with Turkey, Chicken, pork, or a roast.

Of course, for me, corn goes so well with the smoky flavor of bacon, and we love the added kick of the jalapeno. However, if you don’t like the heat of the jalapeno you can leave that out.

In addition to the taste, what I love about this Homemade Creamed Corn with Jalapenos and Bacon is that it is surprisingly easy to make. With only a few ingredients you can have this delicious side dish ready in 15 minutes.

I used frozen corn for this, but if you have fresh corn that would be best. Since it is Fall, I did not have any available. It is still delicious with frozen corn, because if it wasn’t I would not be sharing this recipe with you.

In addition to the corn, you just need heavy cream, butter, salt and pepper, and bacon and jalapenos, of course. Yes. It has butter and cream. That is what makes it rich and creamy.

Go ahead and indulge just this once. It is the holidays. You can diet after the first of the year.

I will bet this will become one of your family favorites for Thanksgiving and every holiday.
