I haven’t made this recipe yet but I do plan on trying it. I made a skillet meal once out of necessity. I had fixed breaded fried okra and had unexpected company show up. So I needed to stretch what okra I had. I added can whole kernel corn ( fresh would have been wonderful had I had any ) and a couple of diced tomatoes. It was one of the best dishes I had ever made. So I am going to try this and top with breaded fried okra. Believe it or not the breading is great and helps absorb the tomato liquid.
This casserole is delicious. The very first time was perfect. If feel comfortable serving to my family and friends.
Prepared using ghee rather than regular butter and it was perfect. Added chili lime seasoning when I dished it up as I like a bit of heat with my sweet corn!
Wonderful recipe and super yummy too! Not sure I would try it without freshly picked corn and tomatoes though. Followed the recipe and was generous with the bacon. A keeper and finding a keeper recipe is not easy. I thank the individual who shared it.
This recipe is the bomb. We changed it up a little bit though. Used canned corn and canned tomatoes. Added some ranch dressing to the top and some mexican cheese. It ended up being amazing.
We enjoyed this recipe with grilled hamburgers last night. All fresh, with tomatoes straight from the garden. Reviews indicated “tough” tomato skins prepared this way, so I peeled and diced them, draining some of the juices as I went along. I was in a rush, so I just mixed the tomatoes in with the corn and bacon, rather than layering it all. Sprinkled some Parmesan on top before baking, covered. As a side note, I had 6 ears of corn, and it yielded 7 heaping cups — not “4 or 5 cups.” That was fine — more “goodness” to eat. This is one of those wonderful recipes that you can play with and add various spices and other vegetables.
I’ve been getting fresh corn from the farmer’s market (ewww, to the worms) and using my husband’s heirloom tomatoes and I love this. The 2nd time I made this I added black pepper, fresh parsley and 2 green onions to the skillet along with the corn.
Oh, my goodness! I have tried many recipes from allrecipes but this is by far the very best dish I have made and I have to be honest, while I love both corn and tomatoes I never would have thought of using them together in a dish this way. I really can’t say enough good things about it but I ll try with a few: every bite tastes like a little bit of summer in your mouth. So good. I made it exactly as written with 2 exceptions. I added pepper and 2 sliced green onions which I layered along with the tomatoes and corn. Oh, and I did not melt the butter beforehand, just put it in the skillet with the corn to cook briefly as recommended. I guess that makes 3 things I did slightly differently but I just thought of one more: I only made 2 layers and I did not wind up with tomatoes, but sprinkled remaining corn/green onions on top. Oh, yeah. I almost forgot that I only baked it for like 25 minutes and that was plenty of time. My husband loved it and I will definitely be making this dish again. We only had a small amount left over (which I had for lunch the next day), so I would say this would feed 2-3 people. What a perfect dish!
Tasty new twist to corn. We really liked the flavor of the corn being cooked in the bacon drippings. I added the layer of tomatoes at the end of the baking time so that they would still be firm. Lotsa of flavor – will be good with the late summer corn. Thanks Rafwolf for providing your recipe.
I did not have bacon on hand so I used Tastefully Simple’s Bacon Bacon instead & it was delicious! Makes a truly vegetarian side dish this way. Everyone thought the meal was delicious!
I was a bit hesitant about this recipe, boy was it great! I will be making this quite often, especially with the garden in overdrive. I made as is and will keep it that way.
It was sooooo good. no changes just as written.
Absolutely fantastic
We had this with Thanksgiving dinner and it was delicious! We tried it again later with frozen corn, and it was very disappointing. I would stick with fresh corn straight from the cob.
Excellent recipe! An absolute must to use the fresh corn cut off the cob. This dish is about the sweetness and the delicate crunch you get from the corn. Don’t be afraid of the bacon, it is just a gentle added flavor, in no way overpowering. I added a small amount of minced onion. I must say, although I did peel the tomatoes, they didn’t add anything to the dish other than color. I would probably leave them out next time or chop them so they are easier to eat. This recipe is a definite keeper!!
A nice change from every day vegetables. Very easy to make. A little to buttery for me. Next time I will cut the butter in half, or maybe try olive oil. Will make againg for sure!
Great. Didn’t change a thing – it came out really good.
My family LOVED this recipe. I used fresh corn and tomatoes, and the result was terrific. I will definitely be making this again and again.
What a tasty, simple recipe. I used frozen corn instead of fresh, but it still was delicious. Very easy and quick to make. Thanks for the recipe!
Great recipe. I added chopped onions and I peeled the tomatoes first. Wonderful flavor.
If you enjoy fresh vegetables then you will love this. I added just a little chopped onion and it was great! Will definately make this a lot during the summer when fresh veggies are available.
