Fresh Corn and Tomato Casserole

4 slices bacon

8 ears fresh corn

¼ cup butter

1 teaspoon salt

2 large tomatoes, sliced

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until crisp and evenly brown; drain. Chop bacon, and set aside.

Cut corn from cobs. There should be about 4 or 5 cups of corn kernels. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the corn, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in the bacon and salt, and remove from heat.

Spread a layer of the corn mixture into the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish, then layer with tomatoes. Repeat layers twice, ending with tomatoes on the top.

Bake uncovered in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until corn is tender.
