Smothered Corn

This is a great Southern side dish—simple, hearty and fantastic. This is the way my dad’s mother made corn. Our guests love it!

Ingredients

How To Make

In a medium pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add salt pork and onion. Cook until onion is softened, about 3 min.

Add corn, salt, pepper and 3 cups water. Cover and cook over medium heat. Add water as needed to maintain water level. Remember: this is smothered corn, not boiled corn! Cook for about 1 ½ hours or until corn is completely cooked.

Serve over cooked white rice.

Prep time: 45 min. Cook time: 1 hour 45 min. Serves: 8.
