ingredients

  • 12 ounces cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 (15 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
  • 2 tablespoons chili crisp
  • 6 to 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 3 to 4 Dave’s Killer Bread Sandwich Rolls Done Right

Method

  • Step 1

    In a cast iron pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until almost crispy. Remove the bacon and leave about 4 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan.

  • Step 2

    Add the onion and cook in the bacon fat until caramelized. Set aside.

  • Step 3

    Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan, then stir in the corn. Cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Return the onions and bacon to the pan and stir in the chili crisp. Mix well.

  • Step 5

    Lay the Swiss cheese over the mixture and cover the pan to melt the cheese.

  • Step 6

    While the cheese melts, toast the sandwich rolls with the remaining tablespoon of butter.

  • Step 7

    Spread mayonnaise on the toasted rolls, then load them up with the hot succotash mixture. Serve warm.
