The sauce gives this corn the same great flavor as Boston baked beans.

Ingredients

4 slices bacon
2 (15 1/2-ounce) cans whole kernel corn
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup ketchup
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 11/2-quart baking dish.
2

Chop the bacon and place in a medium skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until slightly browned but not crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain.
3

Drain corn. Place in a large bowl.
4

Add brown sugar, ketchup, bacon, onion, bell pepper, dry mustard, garlic salt and black pepper to corn and mix well.
5

Spoon corn mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake until hot and bubbly, about 1 hour.

Grandma's Secret Trick

Because some of her family liked both Boston baked beans and this corn recipe so much, Grandma eventually began using a can of corn and a drained can of baked beans, rather than two cans of corn, as a variation on this recipe.
