#1, I will cook the bacon more.
#2, I will add the other veg before I add the corn.
#3, I will try substituting yogourt or sour cream for the heavy cream

I'll do #s 1 & 2 and once I have that tweaked to my taste, I'll try #3.

I may also increase the amount of jalapenos or switch to a hotter pepper.

The bacon was cooked enough. I just happen to like the way the flavour changes when the bacon gets crisp. The flavour change stays, even if the bacon gets soft from other ingredients.


I agree about the bacon. I'll be removing it from the drippings and adding it at the end. I'll also be adding some seeded Serrano's along with the Jalapenos because I think they have way more flavor without a lot more heat.
I'm not so sure about the yogurt or sour cream, but let us know what happens.

I'm thinking that side pork, fried like bacon and lightly salted would be great in this dish, as would ham hocks. Or, you could omit the pork and add shrimp, scallops, mussels, or clambs This would also pair well with smoke turkey thighs,or even mild pork liver, cut into small pieces. it would be great with thin-sliced beef tongue, or with diced corned beef, or with pastrami. Yeh, you could take this in a hundren different directions. Now wee wha tyou did! You got me playing with food ideas that I have no access to.
