1/4teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Cook the bacon over medium high heat, stirring frequently to separate, about 4-5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined dish. Drain off most of the grease, leaving a light coating on the pan.
Add the bell peppers to the hot skillet and saute over medium high heat for about a minute. Add the corn and cook for an additional 5 minutes or so, until the corn is hot.
Push the vegetables to the sides of the pan and add the cream cheese to the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to warm and begin to melt for a minute or two and then break it up with a spatula. Continue stirring until the cream cheese has completely melted and coats the vegetables.
Return the bacon to the skillet and stir to mix throughout. Add the lime, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well and taste. Adjust seasonings as desired. Serve warm.
Notes
The cream cheese in this recipe provides an unforgettable richness to the vegetables in just a few minutes time. It will melt right into the hot skillet and all that you'll need to do to achieve the perfect sauce is stir it together with the vegetables and seasonings.
