EASY CAJUN CREAMED CORN

With peppers and onions fried with bacon and then added to corn niblets, Cajun seasoning and heavy cream, this classic Cajun creamed corn recipe is an outstanding Southern side dish worthy of second and third helpings.  Best of all, it is super easy and quick to make.  You can use frozen, fresh or canned corn for this recipe as well.
