Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Corn on the Cob
Ingredients:
- 10 ears corn, husked and cleaned
- Cajun seasoning, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 (1 pound) package of sliced bacon
- 10 12×8-inch sheets of aluminum foil
Directions:
- Preheat your outdoor grill for high heat.
- Generously sprinkle each ear of corn with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- Wrap each corn ear with 2 slices of bacon, covering as much of the corn as possible. For larger ears, you may need 3 slices of bacon to cover the corn completely.
- Wrap each bacon-wrapped corn ear in a sheet of aluminum foil, twisting the ends tightly to seal.
- Place the foil-wrapped corn on the preheated grill. Grill over high heat for 10 minutes on each side.
- After grilling on high, reduce the heat to low. Continue grilling the corn for an additional 45 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked and the corn is tender.
- Carefully remove the foil, and serve the corn hot, ideally with extra seasonings or your favorite barbecue sides.
