My New Year's Eve Snack

[cowgirl]

This is what I usually make for the Super Bowl but decided to make it for New Year's eve too.

Used some Swamp Dust to season the pot. (Thank you to Brethren Wickedcajun and Cajun Ty for recommending this awhile back)

Oiled and seasoned some corn with Big Poppa Little Louie Black Pepper, Garlic and Salt seasoning.

[BKish25]

A great way to ring in the New Year, Jeanie!

What did you use to secure the bacon to the corn?

[Ross in Ventura]

Wow what a great cook Jeanie

Ross

[Mrtodd777]

Amazing as usual Jeanie! Where are you finding mud bugs this time of year??

[GQue]

That Corn is Genuis!! That is one beautiful pot of food! Bravo!:-D:-D:-D

[cowgirl]

Thank you everybody!

A great way to ring in the New Year, Jeanie!

What did you use to secure the bacon to the corn?

Thank you Bruce, I used one full strip of thin bacon on each cob. Tried to cover as many kernels as possible with the bacon. Didn't use anything to secure it, I just start the corn cooking with the seam side down then turn when it's crisp and set. (hope that makes sense :))
The bacon drippings keep the corn kernels moist while cooking.
Thanks again!

Amazing as usual Jeanie! Where are you finding mud bugs this time of year??

Mrtodd, my grocery store had them. Thanks for the kind comment!

Thanks again friends!
