Description

This chowder goes way back to my first recipe book. I don’t remember who gave it to me but it’s one I go back to time and time again. Great on a cool, fall day!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Water
  • 2 whole Potatoes, About 1 Pound, Peeled And Cubed
  • 2 whole To 3 Whole Large Ears Corn On The Cob, Or Frozen Corn, About 2 - 2-1/2 Cups
  • 2 strips Bacon, Chopped
  • 1 whole Onion, Chopped (about 1 Cup)
  • ½ cups Diced Sweet Green Pepper
  • ½ cups Diced Sweet Red Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Pepper

Preparation

Bring water to boiling in a large saucepan over high heat. Add potatoes and return to boiling. Reduce heat to medium and cook, covered, for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut corn from cobs with knife into bowl (about 2 to 2-1/2 cups). Add corn to potatoes in your saucepan. Return to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook 8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

In another large saucepan, cook bacon, stirring over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon to paper towel to drain.

Reduce heat to medium; drain off all but 2 Tablespoons of bacon drippings in saucepan. (If you don’t have enough drippings, add butter or margarine, if necessary, to make 2 Tablespoons).

Add onion and peppers to hot drippings in saucepan. Cook, stirring for 3 – 5 minutes or just until tender.

Gradually stir in flour; cook, stirring constantly, 3 – 5 minutes or until dry and thick.

Gradually add milk; cook, stirring 3 – 5 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Add salt, pepper, corn/potato mixture and bacon; heat through.

I give this recipe 4 mitts.
It’s very colorful and a wonderful recipe for a rainy day. My husband and I thought it needed a little more salt and it didn’t taste right until I put a bunch of Ritz crackers in it.

**Please keep in my that I am not a very experienced cook, I used kosher salt, and I used organic, smoked bacon. I am wondering if these factors add up to the lack of salt.**
