- 6 ears corn, husked
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 (12 ounce) package smoked bacon
- Place each ear of corn on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it completely; brush with butter. Season with salt.
- Spread brown sugar evenly on a large plate. Roll buttered corn in brown sugar.
- Wrap 2 bacon slices around the length of each ear of corn. Wrap foil around corn, enclosing it completely.
- Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Cook foil-wrapped corn over indirect heat, turning occasionally, until corn is tender and bacon is crisp, 35 to 45 minutes.
