Serves: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

• 6 pieces bacon
• 3 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 (398 ml/14 fl oz) cans cream-style corn
• 2 cups water
• 2 teaspoons salt
• Freshly ground pepper to taste
• 2 cups half and half cream

Instructions

1. Place the bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat, and cook until crisp. Drain and crumble, reserving about 2 tablespoons drippings in the pot.
2. Mix potatoes and onion into the pot with the crumbled bacon and reserved drippings. Cook and stir for 5 minutes. Pour in the water, and stir in corn. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, and cover pot. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until potatoes are tender.
3. Warm the half-and-half in a small saucepan until it bubbles. Remove from heat before it boils, and mix into the chowder just before serving.
