Zucchini And Corn Sauté With Bacon

This easy bacon, corn, and zucchini sauté is a delicious side where the veggies really sing. 

It’s the bacon that makes this side dish irresistible. Bacon, corn and zucchini sauté is the perfect choice for your next holiday meal or potluck dinner. It will go quick.

I start with wholesome ingredients like Applegate organic Sunday bacon because it doesn’t contain any nitrites or chemical preservatives.

The corn is organic so there’s no worry about GMOs.

And the zucchini is fresh from my garden. You can’t beat that just picked flavor.

Let me show you how easy it is to make.

Instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post. 

Start by cooking your bacon in a large skillet. Then transfer your bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

Then add corn, zucchini and onion to the bacon fat in the skillet. Sauté for about ten minutes.

How to sauté

Using the dry-heat from your hot pan and the small amount of fat from your bacon, your veggies will develop incredible flavor. Toss them around with a wooden spoon so they cook evenly.

Now season with a dash of pepper and top with shredded cheese.

Finally, chop up your bacon and stir it in with all the veggies. And that’s it. Easy peasy.

Pro tips and recipe notes

• I love using organic veggies whenever I can, but you can certainly go with conventionally grown veggies. It’s up to you.
• I use white pepper in this recipe. It has a milder more earthy taste than black pepper. Black pepper will work in this recipe too.
• I use 4 cheese Mexican cheese in this recipe. You can go with cheddar or any grated cheese you prefer.
• Leftovers will keep, covered in the fridge, for up to 4-5 days.

I can’t wait for you to taste this. It’s so good.
