Creamed Corn is a popular side item for barbecues, especially in Texas, when I (Travis) have lived for a brief time in my life. Despite its name, some creamed corn recipes don't use cream at all, but this one does. Using frozen bagged corn makes this recipe much easier than using fresh corn, but it is still delicious. Corn is naturally sweet, but adding sugar brings out more of the sweet corn taste. We use masa harina, a very finely ground cornmeal, as a thickener instead of flour because... well, it just makes sense to use it in a corn dish! Plus, it has bacon in it as well, if you decide to use it.

Creamed Corn with Bacon

Like we said, you don't need to use bacon, but anyways put diced bacon in a medium saucepan and cook till crispy.
