EASY CORN CREOLE
The original recipe for this dish came from the cookbook OLD FARMERS ALMANEC EVERYDAY COOKBOOK.

Steps:
- 1. This is the book where the original recipe was found. A great book USING easy to find everyday ingredients. I used fresh corn off the cobb if you use frozen the prep time will be less.
- 2. Chop onions and bell pepper and set aside till needed.
- 3. Remove corn from cob with a sharp knife if using fresh. Make it easier to remove by placing a soup/cereal bowl upside down in a larger bowl, then rest the cob on the smaller bowl, and cut along the sides of the corn to remove kernels.
- 4. Add the coconut oil to a large skillet, then heat over medium high heat. Add the onions and chopped peppers and cook for 5-7 minutes till transparent.
- 5. Then add the drained diced tomatoes and stir to blend together, add the spices, add salt if desired.
- 6. Add the corn and continue to cook over medium high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- 7. These are the main ingredients used in this recipe. Adding the 2 Tbs of REAL Bacon bits ONLY ADDED 50 CALORIES TO THE entire dish, & it packs a lot of flavor. Just 149 calories for one serving.
- 8. When the vegetables are tender after about 5 to 7 minutes, add the real bacon bits, stir, then top mixture with shredded cheddar cheese. TURN OFF HEAT. Then cover skillet with lid to allow cheese to melt.
- 9. Serve immediately while still hot.
