Baked Corn

I love corn. Especially fresh corn on the cob. It just screams summer!!

Normally we grill it…because boiling it just doesn’t do it justice.

But now our grill is torn up.

Ugggggggggg!!!!

So, I have learned the next best thing to grilled corn is baked corn.

It’s so easy…and makes your house smell like grilled corn.

Yummy!!

All you have to do is grab a few ears of fresh corn.

Lay them directly on your oven rack.

Seriously. You don’t shuck them or anything.

Hey now! Don’t look at my dirty oven! We are talking corn here.

And don’t go gettin any ideas about sharing how dirty my oven is like you would the results of paternity tests, or some good gossip. It can’t help it…it is always in use. It even groans at times it is so over-worked. But I love my oven anyway, even if it just can’t seem to keep itself clean and presentable.

Bake on 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

I simply peel back the husks and the silk will fall right off. I then use the folded back husk as a handle.

Butter, Salt and Pepper

Enjoy!!

Baked Corn

3 ears fresh corn

Butter

Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Place ears of corn on oven rack. Bake on 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Add butter, salt and pepper to taste. If you want to kick it up a notch…sprinkle with some cajun seasoning. Or some Parmesan cheese.  Or seasoning salt. All of these will give you a variation and the options become limitless in the different spices you could use!

This weekend being the 4th of July many of us plan to gather with family and friends to celebrate. Me, I plan to go to a small town even further into the mountains called Hiawassee to my Aunt and Uncle’s place where everyone will gather to enjoy some good food, good music and good company.

The best part of going…I get to see my Aunt Ruth. She is such a lively and fun person to be around. And, it doesn’t hurt that she happens to be the best cook that I know. So, I thought I would share one of her recipes in honor of the upcoming holiday so that if you have plans to attend a cookout and need a fabulous covered dish to take…you would have something to knock peoples socks off!

Aunt Ruth’s Barbecue Baked Beans

1 gallon baked beans

1 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce

1 TBSP mustard

4 TBSP vinegar

1/2 cup chopped onions

dash of garlic powder

1/4 tsp of hot sauce (adjust to taste)

1 small hot pepper

Mix all of the ingredients in a large baking dish and bake at 325 degrees for one hour. Serve hot.

Remember, this is meant to feed a crowd. I am not sure that Ruth knows how to cook in small quantities because even if you just drop by her house on a Tuesday for no reason unannounced, there is a crowd around her table…and that is just how she likes it.
