Delicious A-Maize-ing Corn Chowder
Ingredients
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 (14.75 ounce) cans cream-style corn
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Sear the bacon in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches a golden brown and crispy state; take the bacon out of the pot, reserving 2 tablespoons of its savory fat in the process. Chop the cooked bacon into smaller pieces and set it aside for later use.
2
Next, sauté the onion in the reserved bacon fat until it becomes translucent and tender; then add diced potatoes and a sufficient amount of water to the pot. Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and let it simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
3
After that, stir in milk, frozen corn kernels, salt, and pepper to taste; continue cooking the mixture, stirring constantly, until it reaches a warm and comforting temperature. Finally, sprinkle the chopped bacon over your dish to add a smoky flavor and a satisfying crunch before serving.
