Cajun Corn and Bacon Maque Choux

1. 1

   Gather all the ingredients.

2. 2

   Thinly slice across the tops of the corn kernels to cut them off the cobs; place the corn in a medium bowl. Slice across the kernels again to release the corn milk and add it to the bowl. Set aside.

3. 3

   Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and green pepper and cook until the onion is tender, about 5 to 8 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir the corn, tomatoes, and milk into the onion mixture. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes more, stirring often to prevent sticking. Do not let it boil.

5. 5

   Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes more.

6. 6

   Stir in the bacon and green onions. Remove from the heat and serve.
