Ba'corn (Cheesy Bacon Corn Gratin) - Food Wishes 

Check out the recipe: www.allrecipes.com/Recipe/274640/Bacorn-Cheese-Corn/

Chef John makes a hamburger. 'Other than the hamburger, this is pretty much a vegetarian dish.'

I just bought a Victoria 12" cast iron pan because of Chef John. I scrolled through multiple screen shots of videos and then found this. My wife will taste this, tomorrow around 6pm, and say, "Chef John?" Thank you, Chef!

I made this today. Everyone loved it. I have liked Everyone of your recipes I've tried. Thanks for making me look like a good cook.

I never thought corn and bacon would go well together. This looks yummy!

The older you get, the more sing-songy your voice becomes, chef! 😂

You are the king! Saving this recipe and making it very, very soon.

I have made this with creamcheese and pickled jalapeños and there juice delish!

You do love your cayenne powder. I personally prefer chipotle. It really is six of one, half dozen of the other, since after all - you are the sheik of your pepper shake...... ;)

Oh hells yeah! I'm making this tomorrow. I would make it now but it 1:30am and all the grocery stores are closed

Oh man. I'm going to have to try this soon.

Your videos are wonderful to watch. How about making some smoked bacon next?

Thanks for the 4th of July potluck idea!

You know, if you split it up to serving sizes in ramekins you could add some of the old paper pork ontop of it with a little bit of sauce...would make for a great thing as a meal

“Other than the bacon, this is a vegetarian dish.” Right. There is that. Ha ha ha

Wow!!! Yum!!!!!!

Vegetarian junk food (but I love it)

Yummmmm

That could be a main dish for sure IMHO maybe some rice done.

"other than the bacon, this is pretty much a vegetarian dish" . pure gold. yogi berra would be proud! 🤠

I'm just here for the obligatory shake of cayenne!!!

For those, new to cooking, who were wondering what a half pound of bacon is, it's the amount left after cooking 1 pound of bacon and sampling for quality control.

“So yes this was a complete waste of time” “You kno wat I regret nothing” That’s is a mood

He discarded bacon grease?!? Unethical, immoral, and illegal where I live.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Chef John is the greatest person who ever lived.

"This is pretty much a vegetarian dish....so let's add half a pound of bacon to a skillet" 😄

Ba'corn... More like Bae'corn ;) ;) I'll see myself out

I'm going to be honest - I hit 'like' just after starting every Food Wishes video. I never wait to the end. I've never had to go back on my choices - "I regret nothing"

Just started watching you Chef, and Everything I've made of yours ( like 20 recipes so far) have been absolutely amazing!! My family all watch your RU-vid channel together and all my kids say, " And as always, Enjoy!" Loud... Lol

I will make this! Served on tortillas with Salsa Verde and cilantro. 😋🤯

By salad he means garlic bread, yeah? Or maybe more bacon?

So good Chef John; at the point where you add the cream, instead pour in your favorite corn bread batter, bake til golden brown, that's the way I do it for "Mexican Corn Bread"

Its like an amazing, hearty, loaded corn chowder. Throw that over a heavy buttered baked potato

You have done humanity and corn a favor by rescuing this recipe from whoever said to add mayo and condensed milk.

Other than the bacon I'm also pretty much vegetarian.

OMG!!! I felt like I was gaining weight just looking at this dish. =P I think I need to go do some elliptical now LOL

Bacon and corn... You have my ear... And no, that joke is not hammy

Yumm. Serve with tortillas or tortilla chips. Add a shake of habanero sauce. I'm ready for dinner!

The 2 best cheese combos for this dish would be provolone and swiss gruyere, my fave is the swiss gruyere, a little pricy , but well worth it, it is delicious.

Your videos make me smile ear to ear whilst my mouth watereth.

Put in some rotisserie chicken and it would be the bomb

Why do a lot of chefs add "kosher" salt to pork dishes??

Looks absolutely delicious! Love all the different flavors from the ingredients.

Making it again for the millionth time today. Thanks again, John!

Chef John.. i stumbled on to your videos in 2019, but over the last year, your videos became my daily moment of zen. Some days, i would need several moments of zen, so i would follow you down the rabbit hole of mouth-watering recipe videos. Your pleasant, calming food videos helped me forget about how bad things were this year.. even for just a couple minutes a day. My husband and I made it through. We were both vaccinated and to celebrate, i made 4 of your recipes, a pork loin, with asparagus, ba'corn, and a boston cream pie for dessert. Im happy to say that all 4 were homeruns.. a grand slam if you will.. but this ba'corn dish was unbelievably delicious. Thank you for getting me through 2020 and making me a better cook in the process.

My friend says this is very easy to eat without teeth. You laugh now, but no one knows what the future will bring.

This needs to be served with some "herb" lime rice and carnitas in a tortilla.

Sure, I guess you can soak up that fat with a towel. Or you can use bread, and have a tasty snack while you cook. And now, off to bed. I have an early angioplasty procedure in the morning

"other than the bacon" pretty much everything is a vegetarian dish...

Dude who doesnt love bacon and corn?! You'd have to be pretty..Corny!

“Jason Bourne of cheesy bacorn”… I look forward to each pun.

I love Chef John's videos, especially how he narrates each video with a particular inflection that makes him sound like he is reading the longest run on sentence ever.

As a child my mother would make fried corn....bacon....sliced tomatoes...fried potatoes with onions..cornbread. Best meal ever!!!!

This I can make. This I will make. And I will be famous among my people. Except the vegetarians, but that's their loss. Thank you Chef John. Thank you indeed.

Okay, it was not PURE bacon fat, the other veggies had been added! I'm sure that makes a difference! Purity and quality control! 😂👵

looks at the thumbnail, that looks like something we have in korea hears the mayo and condensed milk, sounds crazy enough to be korean looks up the bun shop....yup, korean and i would have to say, i doubt they invented this. i've had this "corn salad" many times during the 15 years i've lived in korea

I remember when I first watched one of his videos I was annoyed by the way talks but now I am converted I was a young relentless boy to think his voice was annoying im a new man now and everytime I go to sleep I hear a small sudden voice of this man right here thank you

Apart from the steak, my steak dinner is vegetarian 😂

What’s this? I love both bacon and corn (what normal person doesn’t?) and am literally writing this all down as I watch ; )

Chef John: *discards 1/2 tsp of bacon fat* RU-vid: you are hereby sentenced to death

I sent this video to all of my veg friends because it starts off with its basically vegetarian and literally starts with a giant pile if bacon dropping in a pan lol

Just made this for Christmas morning 2020 and every.single.person LOVED it. Before the meal was finished there were already a few serving ideas for when I make this again: -Served atop rice; this suggestion came from my granddaughter, who exclaimed “This tastes like corn chowder and is now my most favorite dish!” -Served with corn chips, like a dip. -Funneled down your throat; this was unanimously agreed upon by everyone who loved ba’corn!

It's Hot, Spicy, Corny... And Oh So, Delicious. Cause After All, You Are the B'jorn of Your Ba'corn.

made this today. it turned out beautifully. thanks so much for making me look like I knew what I was doing 🍑

Mmmm, yum. Though I would like to try this with chicken instead. Cover the corn with fried chicken bits and cheese, under the broiler... oooh, yes. That's going to happen.

I love how you just ate it right out of the pan, keeping it real.

OMG that looks soooo good!! Only a recipe from the States could be made lighter by using heavy cream. LOL

You are the Gene Gene the Dancing Machine of your creamed corn gratin

Chef John, where did you get my grandmothers recipe(joking) it looks very similar to her creamed corn, which was delicious...

I don't understand how Chef John's videos can get any dislikes at all. It does not compute.

Need corn chowder if you haven’t already 😍

Yo, mah main man Chef J, what would you substitute for bacon in a veggie recipe? Mushroom, perhaps?

I love a vegetarian dish with bacon!!

how can you still be alive eating like this?

Made this a couple times over the summer. Absolutely loved it. Bringing it to family Thanksgiving to introduce something new, almost vegan, to the feast 🙂

Cheese, bacon, corn. You've got my attention....

Life is easier since I put all my Chef John recipes in a folder called 'Chef John.'

that skillet has like 20,000 calories in it

+ This recipe needs some corn bread, REAL corn bread. Not that sweet twinky-tasting junk. Savory rules. I'm thinking corn bread with rosemary ground up in it. The possibilties are endless.

Idk if his talking pattern is normally like that but omg lol he talks very climatic.

“This is pretty much a vegetarian dish” - proceeds to start with HALF A POUND of bacon... #loveyoubro

I wonder how it would be with Parmesan looks DELISH

If I make this and serve it to my family and friends, is it considered assault with a deadly weapon.??? (I absolutely will, and I have bookmarked this for the upcoming Independence Holiday in July')

reminds me of maangchi's corn cheese!

Chef... I don't know if you read all of the overwhelming amounts of replies here. I would think nothing less of you if you don't. I just want to say thanks. I have watched you for a few years now. My cooking has improved so much that my dog will actually eat it. She wouldn't before. You have helped me tremendously. If I knew you... I'd owe you a beer or 2. Thanks and I hope you keep at it. We are all grateful. Cheers.

This is definitely a keeper. I have all the ingredients, so I see this dish appearing at our July 4th BBQ. Thanks, Chef!

I guess if you wanted to make this vegetarian, you could try some sliced mushroom which you brown thoroughly in butter, possibly with some smoked paprika to get a hint of that bacony flavor back? Also, just thinking about the original version with the sweetened condensed milk and mayo is clotting half my arteries. @~@

thought this was a korean dish? Great recipe tho! Looks delicious as always:))

Maybe I'm crazy, but looking at this, I wonder if you could modify it to be a baked macaroni dish. Have to rebalance the liquid/sauce, but bacon onion spicy macaroni and cheese sounds awesome.

This dish is definitely going to be on the 4th of July menu 😀 Thanks Chef!

I am assuming that your blood is still flowing through your veins, but I'd really like to know after seeing this video, HOW???

What if someone were to take out the heavy cream and the jalapeno and instead used cream cheese and stuffed the mixture into a jalapeno, then breaded and fried them.

Hey John, Looking Amazing, Green Onions, add a couple of years to your life, along with Garlic and EVO

A true chef will say "I regret nothing"! 💗

OMG, the bacon fat advocates, (I sympathize) are reaching critical mass. Be careful John.

Just made this with spinach and onions and had it with some ciabatta bread . Was awesome .

If you sub the corn for roasted hominy and the jalapeno for ancho and the cream for a pound of butter, this recipe is called a Brown Ranch Baker. A once powerful pig farm in Texas. It was a dish brought to annual reunions in a Miraflores Park.

Chef John : This but add some Queso and Parm, Lime Juice, Cilantro and and a crushed Doritos crumb topping for Doritos Elite dip

I would have a couple off beaten eggs to the cream so that it makes corn Pudding, corn Casserole, corn Custard, or corn Souffle your choice of term. Put the term of choice as a search on RU-vid. They are all are delicious. Some add premade corn bread mixture to recipe, also cream style corn.

I am making this as soon as corn comes in. I'm from Iowa so waiting for it is a must do. We NEVER buy corn.
