1
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
2
Remove the silk from the corn ears but leave the husks attached. Rub each corn cob with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
3
Wrap each corn cob with foil and place on the grill. Cover and let them cook for 15-20 minutes while rotating them every 2-3 minutes.
4
During the last 2 minutes of grilling, unwrap the foil slightly to let the smoky flavor develop. After cooking, remove the corn from the grill and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
5
Once cooled, remove the husks and cut off the kernels from the cobs with a sharp knife.
6
In a large bowl, mix together the corn kernels, chopped jalapeños, bacon pieces, softened cream cheese, and sour cream until everything is evenly combined.
7
Finally, stir in the grated cheddar cheese, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve the salad at room temperature for the best flavors.
