3. Add the Sauce to the Corn: Place the cooked corn on a large platter or in a baking dish. Generously spoon or brush the sauce over the corn.
4. Add Toppings and Serve: Top crack corn on the cob with shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, fresh cracked pepper, and sliced green onions before serving.
