If you need a side that comes together easily you will love this corn side dish mix of fresh corn, peppers, and potatoes! It’s SO good and so fresh tasting. Plus it has bits of bacon with every bite. The first time I made it for a bbq I only ended up serving half because the family and I kept eating it throughout the day. So feel free to double it!
