I got the idea for this recipe from my husband's coworker. I altered it to suit what I thought my family would like.
Cut the corn off the cob with a sharp knife - just cut along about the middle of the kernels. Then go back and get the 'milk' and pulp from each ear by using the dull side of the knive to scrape off what's left behind, working in strips with a downward motion. You should have a honeycomb appearance on the cobs, that is no corn or pulp or milk left on the cob, when you're finished.
Heat the bacon grease in a non-stick skillet on medium heat and then add all the other ingredients, with the exception of the butter, salt and pepper, to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, for about 20 minutes and then add the butter, salt, pepper and sugar and give it another stir. Cook an additional five minutes, keeping it stirred and serve hot.
To remove the corn silks easily, use a brush and gently brush while holding the ear under running water. A good way to keep from making a big mess while cutting the corn from the cob is to use a tube or angle food cake pan. The hole in the pan is great for keeping the ears of corn in place while working with the cobs and the kernels fall inside the cake pan instead of going all over the kitchen countertops. I keep a little bacon grease in my refrigerator for things like this, but if you cook the bacon to get your grease, you may want to add some chopped, cooked bacon to the corn. You can also add a little milk, if desired, to make a creamed style version. This is excellent reheated the next day too!
