Ingredients
- 1 pound Bacon
- 4 cups potatoes peeled & diced
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 onion chopped
- 1/2 cup flour
- 4 cups half-&-half (nonfat)
- 28 ounces cream-style corn (2 cans)
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook bacon until crispy. Drain grease from bacon & crumble. Set aside.
- Boil potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes or until soft, but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pot, melt butter. Add onions and sauté over medium heat until onions become transparent. Slowly stir in flour until it is combined evenly with the butter/onions, forming a roux.
- Gradually add half & half, whisking constantly until reaching a gravy-like consistency. If you would like it thinner, just add some milk to thin it out, but be sure to add a little more salt to keep the flavor.
- Heat over medium heat until it almost starts to boil, stirring often, then reduce heat to low. Add drained potatoes, bacon (you may want to reserve a little bacon to add as a garnish when ready to serve), corn, salt & pepper.
- Heat for an additional 10 minutes or so until ready to serve.
Notes

- Celery
- Red bell pepper
