Grilled Corn Packets

4-5 large ears of corn, kernels cut from the cobs

4 slices bacon, diced

1/4 sweet red pepper, minced

1 whole mild green chili

1 green onion, thinly sliced


If using fresh green chili, toast over fire and place in a paper bag until it's cool enough to handle. Scrape off skin, remove seeds and mince - you can also used canned green chilies. 


Cut kernels from ears of corn and place in a bowl with bacon and bell pepper and green chili. Mound the corn on half of a 2 foot piece of foil, leaving a 1 inch border on the sides. Fold the other half of the foil over the corn and make small folds around the edges to seal. Grill for 6-8 minutes, or until packet is puffed. Open packet and season to taste with salt and pepper (or Cajun spice), sprinkle with minced green onion just before serving.
