I often watch Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri from The Food Network. And love seeing what unique creations chefs across the country are cooking up. I don’t think we will ever make it to all of the featured restaurants to try all the featured dishes. So, when I see something on the show that makes my mouth water, I will try to recreate it at home. This Ba’Corn Cheese dish from The Bun Shop in Los Angeles, CA is one dish that had me salivating.

How can you go wrong with a dish made of sweet corn, smothered in bacon and cheese?  It is right up there with chocolate cake and french fries in my opinion! If you want to bump up the spice level a bit, I think you could add some sriracha and all would be right with the world. To serve Ba’Corn Cheese, you can place a bite on top of a tortilla chip, flour or corn tortilla, or eat it straight out of the skillet. Any way that you choose to serve it, it will be delicious! The only problem with this recipe is that it will likely be gone in seconds and your friends and family will certainly want more. I know every time I’ve made this dish, my family gobbles it up in no time.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp 2 unsalted butter

• 2 strips 2 bacon, chopped

• 1/2 1/2 jalapeño, seeded and minced

• 2 cups 2 canned sweet corn

• kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 1 clove 1 garlic, minced

• 2 2 scallions, thinly sliced

• 2 tbsp 2 condensed milk

• 2 tbsp 2 mayonnaise

• 1/2 cup 1/2 mozzarella cheese

Directions

• Place a 5-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven; preheat the oven to broil.
• Heat a wok or sauté pan over high heat. Add the butter and bacon and cook until the bacon is crisp, about 20 seconds. Toss in the jalapeño and corn, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the corn kernels start to char a little bit, 20 to 30 seconds.
• Add the garlic and half of the scallions. Add the condensed milk, mayonnaise and 1/4 cup of the mozzarella and cook until the cheese is melted and the ingredients are well mixed, another 20 seconds.
• With a towel, grab your hot skillet from the broiler and carefully pour in the corn-cheese mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella over the top and set under the broiler until golden brown, 30 to 45 seconds. Garnish with the remaining scallions.
