With a handful of ingredients and just a few minutes, this Corn O’Brien, one of America’s most loved dishes can be made at home. O’Brien refers to the garnishment of peppers and onions. Most famously known to partner with potatoes, I choose to use corn, to encourage some more fresh veggie eating in our home. Colorful and deliciously flavored with crispy bacon, this recipe is loved at dinner time.
When we have left overs, I like to fill pita pockets for the kids and my husband, and wrap it up for lunch the next day!
To make Corn O’Brien, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large, deep skillet, over medium heat, cook and stir the bacon for about 10 minutes, until evenly browned. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate and leave the grease in the skillet.
Stir the onion and bell pepper into the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the corn, pimentos, and reserved bacon. Cook and stir for about 3-5 minutes, until heated through.
Season with salt and pepper before serving.
