Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 4 slices of bacon (save the fat)
• 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro
• ½ cup of cotija cheese
• 3 cups of frozen corn
• 2 ounces of cream cheese
• ½ teaspoon of fresh cracked pepper
• 3 tablespoons of green onions
• ¼ cup of whole milk
• 1 teaspoon of Chile margarita seasoning

Laid-Out Instructions

• First, you are to preheat your gas griddle over medium-low heat, then cook the bacon until it becomes crispy. After that, remove and dice; make sure you reserve the bacon fat on the griddle.
• If you are using frozen corn for this recipe, proceed to microwave it for 1-3 minutes, or just long enough so that it is not completely frozen. You are to place large quantities of frozen foods on a hot griddle, which is an excellent way to warp your griddle.
• That being done, place the corn on the griddle and cook for a few minutes. Ensure that you stir from time to time with a large spatula. Also, season with pepper and Chile margarita seasoning.
• Afterward, you are to make a circle in the center of the corn pile and put down the cream cheese and milk. Allow it to bubble up a bit, and you are to stir when necessary in order to keep it mixing together.
• When that is done, mix back in the chopped bacon, cotija cheese, and green onions. Also, stir until they are well combined, and cover with a dome for the final minute of cooking, if you have one.
• After that, remove them from the griddle and top with cilantro; proceed to serve hot; and enjoy.

Blackstone Street Corn FAQs

Can You Use Corn on the Cob Instead of Frozen?

The straightforward answer to this is yes; you can use corn on the cob instead of frozen.

If you have leftover corn on the cob, you are to first remove it from the husk and then place it on the grill. You still need to cook the street corn as directed with the same seasoning.

Can You Use Canned Corn Instead of Frozen?

Of course, you can use canned corn instead of frozen corn. However, the results might be a bit less than they would be if you chose to use frozen corn.

That being said, canned corn is heat-processed, which also means it will be pre-cooked.

This also means you will be cooking it again on the flat top; that way, the texture won’t be really the same compared to when you use fresh or frozen corn.

How Should You Store Leftover Corn Off the Cob?

As previously mentioned, you can store this in a tightly sealed container, then place it in the fridge, which will make it last for 3–4 days, maximum. I strongly advise against freezing this dish.
