Corn, Green Beans and Bacon

A favorite summer side dish
I adapted this recipe from Everyday Foods magazine many years ago. The original recipe had more bacon and no green beans. One or two pieces of bacon can add a lot of flavor, and the green beans let me get a serving of vegetables in a delicious dish. The amounts of all the ingredients are completely flexible. Use whatever you have, and change it to suit your tastes.

Notes

This recipe is easily doubled, but you might want to cook the green beans and corn separately and combine them at the end. I have even cooked the green beans in water and added them at the end. The corn stripper that I love from OXO does not seem to be available anymore. Amazon has a product from Norpro that looks similar. (Norpro 5399 Corn Stripper). If you don’t have a corn stripper you can use a chef’s knife. Doing it inside a large bowl helps contain flying kernels. I always use more green beans than I call for here, but I love green beans. Most people prefer to have them just be an accent to the corn.
