This was a good recipe. I served in with the Guacamole Chicken Wraps in the same issue. I made a few changes: used regular corn instead of creamed since I don't like it. I also cooked the bacon first, removed it to paper towel and cooked the onions in the bacon grease. I used the cooked bacon as a garnish, along with cilantro, sour cream and crushed tortilla chips. Next time I will eliminate the pearl onions as I did not like them in this particular recipe.

Every time I make this recipe, my family loves it! The sour cream, cilantro and crushed taco chips makes for great toppings. I exclude the pearl onions...just our taste.
