Melt the bacon fat and butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and corn and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and the corn is tender and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pan to release any stuck-on caramelized bits.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Cooking in bacon grease and butter yields the best results. All butter would be a close second.
Taste and season to suit your palate. Some people like just salt and pepper, while others want to add something a little more jazzy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave at reduced heat or on the stovetop over low heat.
