Ingredients

1/2 cup diced bacon
4 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cups cream-style corn
2 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
ground black pepper to taste
2 cups half-and-half

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Cook bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain, leaving bacon and 2 tablespoons grease in the pot.
3 Add potatoes and onion to the pot; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add corn, water, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer, stirring frequently, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
4 Warm half-and-half in a small saucepan until it bubbles; remove from the heat just before it boils. Mix into chowder.
5 Serve immediately.
