In a large cast-iron skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat. Cook until nice and crisp.
Remove the bacon from the skillet leaving the bacon grease in the skillet. Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Add the onions to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes or until translucent.
Add the corn, sugar, butter, salt, and pepper, and cook for 10 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
Stir in the bacon and check for seasoning before serving. Enjoy!
- Add the crispy bacon when the corn is done cooking. Cooking the corn with the bacon will result in soggy bacon.
