Cheesy Bacon and Roasted Poblano Street Corn Skillet
With Super Bowl around the corner, I’m in Game Day Eats mode 100! I don’t even know what the heck that means.. I’m just.. you know.. in the mood to cook a lot of game day food!
Today I got a street corn skillet that you’re going to love. It’s loaded with stringy mozzarella, and topped off with bacon. Perfect side for a grilled dinner, or to just throw it on the table in front of the game and snack on!
You bite in a get a mouthful of buttery, cheesy corn, with a little spice on the end from the roasted poblano pepper. Then some smokiness and crunch from the bacon cooked. It’s delicious, and best of it fits in my diet right now. Yes. This is technically diet food. If you’re a keto/paleo junkie like myself.
If string pulls is your thing, this is the side dish you’re going to want to make to get every all excited and ready to dig in. Even my little helper holding the fork was super stoked on everything happening.
But will my son eat this? Heck no! It’s got too much going on. After 4 years I’ve finally figured him out. Simple flavors and textures, or you’ll lose a toddler when trying to feed him.
It’s cool – more for mom and dad. And a side of mac and cheese for the kids!
