With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes, you can have the most delicious southern Fried Corn that is the perfect side dish for just about any meal!
Melt the butter and bacon grease in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Add the corn, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is cooked through and begins to brown about 8-10 minutes; scrape the bottom of the pan to release any stuck-on bits.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary; serve immediately.
Notes
Please refer to my FAQ’s and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
The corn is done when it is warmed through and begins to cook down a bit, the browning is a personal preference so any additional cooking up to that stage is up to you.
Feel free to garnish with crispy chopped bacon if desired.
Add a cup of onion if desired, add to the melted butter first and cook until softened, 8-10 minutes, then proceed with the recipe as written.
Reheating back in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
Keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days, freeze for up to 3 months.
This is best with bacon grease (isn’t everything! ha) but if you don’t have bacon grease, just use all butter.
