Ingredients

  • 8 ears corn on the cob
  • 8 tablespoons salted butter
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 4 ounces Feta cheese crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro chopped
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 whole lime

Instructions

  • Start up the grill first. You can use any type of grill, either a charcoal grill or gas grill; we prefer charcoal, mainly for the taste it gives the food.
  • Shuck and wash the corn.
  • Grill the corn until it's done and slightly charred; as you grill it, make sure you stay with it and turn it often with a good pair of grilling tongs.
  • Once the corn is cooked to perfection, take it off the grill and put it on a baking sheet.
  • Generously butter each ear of corn.
  • Use a basting brush to brush a generous helping of mayo onto each ear of corn, turning the ear to make sure it's coated well all the way around.
  • Sprinkle chili powder on every ear, again turning to sprinkle all the way around each ear.
  • Crumble Feta cheese on top of each ear of corn.
  • Sprinkle all the corn with a good helping of chopped up cilantro.
  • Crumble real bacon on top of each ear.
  • Finally, cut your limes into wedges, and give a good squeeze of lime juice over everything. 
  • And that's it. You're ready to eat! This corn pairs really well with pork chops, burgers, Chicago hot dogs, and shrimp kabobs!
