Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon slices until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in the skillet; discard the rest.
  3. Crumble the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  4. Add the chopped onion to the reserved bacon drippings in the skillet. Sauté over medium heat until the onion is tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the minced garlic, flour, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the mixture is bubbly and fragrant.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and well-combined.
  7. Fold in the thawed corn, fresh parsley, and half of the crumbled bacon. Mix well to coat the corn evenly with the creamy sauce.
  8. Pour the mixture into a 1-quart baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining crumbled bacon over the top.
  10. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and bubbly at the edges.
  11. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh chives before serving.
