Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bacon on a broiler pan and bake for 10 to 20 minutes, until it's crisp but not burned.

While the bacon is baking, carefully peel the corn kernels from the cobs and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, sliced zucchini, and diced onion.
3
Sprinkle the Cavender's all-purpose Greek seasoning over the vegetable mixture and add freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss well to ensure even seasoning.
4
Tear off two pieces of Reynolds Wrap Aluminum Foil, each measuring 12 x 12 inches. For grilling, heavy-duty foil works best. Divide the vegetable mixture evenly between the two sheets of foil.
5
Cut the butter into small pieces and distribute 2 tablespoons on top of each vegetable packet.
6
To create the packets, bring the edges of the foil together, fold over three times, and twist the ends securely. Each packet serves two people.
7
Grill the packets over hot coals for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally. In the last few minutes, crumble the cooked bacon.
