Bacon Grilled Elote is a mouthwatering twist on the grilled corn. This dish features ears of corn grilled to perfection, then brushed with mayonnaise and sprinkled with chopped HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® Original Thick Cut Bacon. The smoky flavor of the bacon complements the sweetness of the corn, while the mayonnaise adds a rich, tangy layer of flavor.
