Ingredients
- 4 lices thick-cut bacon diced
- ½ sweet yellow onion diced

- 3 tbsp flour
- 3 cups whole milk 2% is fine too
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 3 medium russet potatoes peeled and diced
- Sea Salt and Freshly Cracked Pepper to taste
- 2 cups diced ham
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Cook the diced bacon in a Dutch oven or heavy pot until crispy.
- Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel.

- Add the potatoes and season with freshly cracked black pepper and a touch of salt.
- Side Note: Be careful with salt! The sharp cheddar, ham, and bacon bits are all super salty!!
- Simmer, making sure it doesn't boil because the milk may curdle, for 45-60 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Blend with an immersion blender to your desired consistency OR leave as is.
- Add the cheese and ham then stir to combine.
- Allow to simmer for another few minutes then taste; season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, if needed.
