"This is a recipe I learned about 10 years ago while working at my neighborhood store/deli. It's not fancy, make a big pot and is super yummy! It is my go to recipe for chowder as I don't east seafood. *Cook's note* I like mine in a warm bread bowl, but it also serves well with simple bread and butter or out of a large coffee mug. This recipe usually fills my pot witch I think is a 4 qt Casserole with a couple inches to spare. Sometimes I use more potatoes but the 2 most important ingredients are the bacon and evaporated milk."

Look at it, and decide if it needs more corn or milk, and add more to your liking. Once you are happy with the consistency (it should be thick), add the onion, bacon, butter & black pepper. Bring to boil and let simmer for 20 mins or so until the onions are no longer crunchy. It'll thicken some too when it cools.

I grew up out by the Cape and moved out west when I attended college at UMass Amherst where I met my Husband. We have two wonderful boys who are great. In our region of the state local produce is varied and plentiful and I'm often looking for new and interesting ways to use the veggies. I enjoy cooking and grilling especially, although I detest cleaning up. I also like to read and listen to books and podcasts (in the car), gardening, watching butterflies and hummingbirds.
