Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9" x 9" (or similar size pan) with cooking spray and set aside.
Over medium heat in a large saute pan, fry 8 slices of bacon. Remove the bacon from the pan once crisp and leave all the bacon grease in the pan.
Add diced onion to the pan and saute until soft, about 3-5 minutes.
Add flour and stir until there are no lumps. Cook for 1 minute.
Add milk, corn, cream cheese, seasoned salt and cayenne pepper and stir frequently until the cream cheese has melted and everything is well combined.
Add 1 cup (1 sleeve) crushed Ritz crackers, ½ cup shredded cheddar and crumble in 6 slices of the bacon. Stir until well combined.
Pour into the greased pan and spread into an even layer.
Top this with remaining shredded cheddar, remaining crushed Ritz crackers and crumble on remaining bacon.
Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve immediately.
