Name: Skillet Corn with Bacon and Onions
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: Makes 12 servings
Ingredients: 12 ears of corn, shucked; 6 bacon slices, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces; 1 large onion, chopped; 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped; 1 cup water; 3/4 cup finely chopped scallion

Cooks' note:

Corn can be cooked 6 hours ahead and chilled, covered (without scallion or bacon). Reheat in skillet or a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, then stir in scallion and salt and pepper to taste. Bacon can be kept at room temperature, then reheated on a small baking sheet in a preheated 400°F oven until hot, about 2 minutes.
