Preparation

Step 1

Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp; drain all but 1 tablespoon of drippings. Add bell pepper and onion to skillet and cook over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.

Deglaze skillet with sherry; simmer until liquid nearly evaporates, scraping up any brown bits. Stir in corn, cream, and Tabasco; simmer until thickened, 3-4 minutes. Season corn with salt and black pepper, then stir in scallions.
