Grilling Veggies in a Cast Iron Skillet-Corn with Peppers and Onion

As we're coming into the hottest part of summer this isn't so much a recipe, more of a reminder that cast iron works great on the grill folks! I was making pork chops and had plenty of room for my skillet so I placed it on the grate while my gas grill was heating up. The great thing about this technique is, it helps keep the kitchen cool and you don't need to use extra propane for the side burner.
I added the fat with the veggies so it sauteed. If you want a char on your onions and peppers (and maybe even your fresh corn) add them first to the dry skillet and let sit undisturbed until they begin to color, then stir in the fat and frozen corn if using

2 C corn, either fresh or frozen-I had frozen
1/4 C green/red peppers, diced or sliced, any variety/combo you'd like-I used jalapenos
1/8 C onion, diced or sliced
2-3 tsp fat, either olive/vegetable oil or bacon grease-guess what I used:@)
S&P to taste
  1. Preheat cast iron skillet on grill grate-I added it when I lit the grill.
  2. Add peppers, onion and fat to skillet, saute for a couple minutes.
  3. Add corn and cook until desired doneness.
  4. Remove from heat and add S&P to taste.
Keep cool and have a happy day:@)
