By harvard88

Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini
• water
• 8 slices of bacon
• 1 can (15-ounces) sweet corn (you can also use frozen corn, thawed)

• salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Step 1

Drop zucchini in a large pot of boiling water.

Place bacon in a frying pan and cook to a crisp; with a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towel, leaving bacon fat in pan.

Add corn kernels and garlic to the frying pan; season with salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes, or until heated through and slightly browned.

Add cream cheese and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted and mixture is well combined.

Remove from heat.
