- 1 pound bacon chopped into 1/2-inch thick pieces
- 4 cups corn kernels from fresh or frozen

Instructions
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle, or other outdoor flattop griddle, to medium-high.
- Slice and cook the bacon until it starts to get crispy. Push it to the side to continue cooking.
- Add the corn kernels right on top of where you cooked the bacon, so they soak up all the bacon fat and bits.
- Cook the corn over medium-high for 2-3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook an additional minute.
- Add the green onions to the corn mixture, then work the bacon back into the corn.
- Season with paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Slice the bacon about 1/2-inch thick. You want nice big bacon chunks in this dish.
- Don't push the bacon fat away - you want to cook the corn in all that bacony goodness.
- If using frozen corn kernels, you may need to add 1-2 minutes of cooking time so that they heat all the way through.
- Use smoked hot paprika for a bit of a spicy kick.
- Try adding diced jalapenos to the corn or even diced bell pepper for a pop of color and flavor.
