Barbecued Corn on the Cob W/Bacon and Chili Butter
"A neat trick to place the bacon strips in the husk!.Make sure to buy corn with the husk still attached. From the cook book 'Ben's Barbeque'. When we cooked this recipe the bacon did not get crip, more steamed from the corn. The corn had a delicious smoky flavour."

The only problem I had with this was that the bacon would not stay on the corn. It did add a great flavor and the flavor of the butter was wonderful too. I will try this again to see if I can get that bacon to stay put! Made for ZWT 7. -
Made for ZWT Golden Gourmets. I had to improvise and make in the oven since hubby did not make it home in time to grill it. It was really good. Just would like to have figured out a way to crisp the bacon up a little. My daughter ate 2 BIG ears herself (she is 8).
