Ingredients:

  • 1/2 onion
  • 4 slices bacon (cooked )
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • salt and pepper
  • aluminum foil

Directions:

  1. Clean the corn; pull the husks of and remove all of the silk. Soak the ears of corn in lightly salted water for about an hour (or more).
  2. You need four 12 inch pieces of aluminum foil. Lay out 2 of the pieces on your counter. The other 2 will be used later to top these to make an air tight pouch for the corn.
  3. Place 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder in the center of each of the 2 pieces of foil.
  4. Chop each ear of corn in half and place 4 halves on each piece of foil over butter and garlic powder.
  5. Season the top of the corn with salt and pepper.
  6. You should have 4 half ears on each piece of foil now. This is your 'corn row'. Place 2 strips of bacon (lengthwise) over each of your 2 'corn rows'.
  7. Cut half of an onion into rings and evenly distribute the rings over the 2 'corn rows'.
  8. Now place the other 2 pieces of foil over the corn rows and crimp all the edges very tightly to make an air tight sealed pouch.
  9. Grill your pouches on a hot grill for about 15 minutes (sometimes it may take a little while longer) flip the pouch CAREFULLY every 4 or 5 minutes. DO NOT puncture the pouch because you need all those great juices to stay in there BASTING the corn and forcing all those great flavors deep into the corn. The flames from your grill SHOULD NOT be touching the pouches- if you have a second rack on your grill put the pouches on that instead of directly over the heat.
  10. Enjoy AMAZING grilled corn!
