Cheesy Corn and Bacon Bake

In a large sauce pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon. Leave about 1 tablespoon bacon grease in the pan and add butter. Add the onion and red pepper and sauté about 5 minutes over medium heat until vegetables soften. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute until fragrant.

Add flour and whisk 1-2 minutes until bubbly. Add the milk and bring to a simmer. Simmer a few minutes until mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and add the cream cheese and the shredded cheese, stir until melted. Add the Frank’s, corn, salt, pepper and sour cream. Pour into a greased casserole dish. Bake in a 350ºF oven for 35 to 40 minutes.

Enjoy!
