Introduction: Bacon and Corn Nuggets (plus Variations)
Depending on what all you put in these, they could be an entire meal that you can pick up, and eat.
We used to make a batch on Sunday evening, and have with beer while watching football.
They can be a yummy warm vegetarian meal, or served as a side dish, or appetizer.
These are good left-over the next day. They aren't as crunchy as when they were first cooked, but make a really good breakfast.
They are GREAT to grab and go as you head out the door to work or school.
I love corn, but have naver liked corn in other dishes.....this is the one exception!
