Dress up your corn on the cob

Corn on the cob tastes great when smothered in butter, but you can give it a bit more flavor than that. I have a few different recipes I like to use to give my corn on the cob a little pizzazz so that my family doesn't get bored with just plain butter.

Ranch dressing corn on the cob: Once your corn has finished cooking on the grill, mix ¼ cup of mayonnaise with 1 Tablespoon of dry ranch dressing mix. Spread this yummy dressing over the corn. Let it melt a bit and eat away.

Parmesan cheese corn on the cob: Melt ½ stick of butter and mix in 2 Tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Drizzle this mixture over the grilled corn before chowing down. Sometimes I even like to sprinkle a little bit of pepper on the corn as well.
Bacon flavored corn on the cob: Wrap the corn on the cob with slices of bacon. Set inside a foil packet and cook over the grill. I remove the bacon before I eat the corn. I eat the bacon separate, but cooking it over the corn infuses a bacon flavor that you are sure to enjoy.

Caesar corn on the cob: Pour ¼ cup of Caesar salad dressing in a bowl. Heat it up in the microwave. If you don't it won't taste right on the corn because the corn will be hot and the dressing will be cold from sitting in your fridge. Drizzle the warm Caesar salad dressing over the corn before eating.

Tip: Plenty of butter manufacturers also make butters that are flavored with various spices and cheeses. These also make great toppings for grilled corn on the cob.
