Step 2

Add the corn, onion, and red pepper, and cook over medium heat, stirring every so often, until the vegetables are tender and the corn is heated through, 6-8 minutes. Add the cream cheese and milk, stirring until the cream cheese melts and the mixture is evenly Combined

Step 3

Stir in the sugar, salt and pepper. Add more salt to taste if needed. Stir in the green onions

Step 4

Serve warm topped with the reserved bacon.
