Ingredients
- 8 - 10 ears fresh corn on the cob
- olive oil
- 1-2 jalapeno peppers seeded and minced
- 1 cup crisp cooked crumbled bacon strips
- 2 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare and heat the grill.
- Without actually shucking the corn, leave the husks attached, but remove as much of the silk as possible. (You can get any pesky stragglers after grilling.) Rub some olive oil into and evenly over each cob, and then lightly season them with salt and pepper. Using sturdy aluminum foil, individually wrap each of them, sealing them completely.8 - 10 ears fresh corn on the cob, olive oil
- Once the grill has finished heating, add the prepared corn and cover, cooking for 15-20 minutes. Turn the corn ever few minutes for even grilling. Transfer the cooked corn to a platter to cool, about 10 minutes or so, before removing the foil. Still be careful for any residual steam escaping. Trash the steamed husks and gently remove any leftover corn silk. Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off of the cobs and place them in a large bowl.
- Stir in the jalapeños, bacon, cheddar, cream cheese and sour cream until everything's evenly incorporated.1-2 jalapeno peppers, 1 cup crisp cooked, 2 oz cream cheese, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup sour cream

Notes
- For extra kick, you can leave some of the jalapeno seeds in the salad or add an extra jalapeno.
- If you are substituting frozen corn kernels, you'll want to use about 6 cups of corn.
- You can garnish this with chopped cilantro or chopped green onions if desired.
