Wash bell peppers, discard seeds and membranes, chop.
Cook bacon over medium high heat, about 4-5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined platter to drain off grease; cut into 1/2 pieces.
Discard most of the bacon grease, leaving a little to cook veggies. Add bell peppers to the hot skillet; saute over medium-high heat for about 1 minute; add corn; cook 5 minutes, until corn is hot.
Push vegetables to the sides of the pan; add cream cheese to the bottom of the skillet; allow it to warm and begin to melt for 1-2 minutes; break it up with a spatula. Continue stirring until cream cheese has completely melted and coats the vegetables.
Add lime juice, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well; taste. Adjust seasonings, as desired.
