Fresh Corn Saute

We got some corn from my in-laws and a friend at work and we've been enjoying corn on the cob often around here. I found this recipe in my seasonal cookbook: Simply in Season and it was a delicious change. We are fortunate to have fresh green pepper and onion from our garden to use and yummy South Dakota honey to cook with. The bacon and cheese made this dish extra yummy. We enjoyed this with grilled burgers and squash and some homemade potato salad made with homegrown potatoes.
