I used some half and half in place of half the milk to make it creamier. Delicious with some hot Italian bread fresh from the oven. -
This was easy to make and enjoyed by even our 9 year old and her friend! We told them the it was from Colonial Williamsburg and would have been eaten by Felicity and Elizabeth (two of the American Girl doll characters). They loved that! I did add a small can of whole corn and cheated a little by using precooked bacon. Since I didn't have bacon fat, I used olive oil to cook the veggies. My husband asked me to make it again soon, which is also nice praise. -
I used Bacon and 1/2 the milk and it was fantastic. All the family loved it. It was very quick and easy to make with ingredients we all keep on hand. Will definitely make again and again.

I am the mother of 6 (only 5 of whom I birthed), and the grandmother of 10. Since my children were born in ’70, ’73, ’80, ’85, and ’90, I have always had kids in different stages of life; so my life has never been boring. I homeschooled the youngest 3 for 15 years(which I really really enjoyed), but my youngest daughter is now going to the University of Hawaii. The next oldest daughter is a theater manager and English teacher in Seattle. Our 4 sons are are all merried, living in West Virginia, Nevada, and Oregan and are the parents of all our grandchildren .I did the Cub Scout leader a long time ago; then the Girl Scout leader and like that a lot better. I also love to garden and to cook. I started cooking in grade school, was fixing dinner every night as my “family chore” by the time I was in junior high, and have been enjoying it ever since. I think when you enjoy cooking, it is contagious. My married sons both share some of the cooking with their wives; my college daughter has enjoyed putting on Sunday Suppers in her dorm. Reading is also a favorite pastime, but my “reading” is done via books on tape since I am legally blind. I love Zarr because it allows me access to so many recipes, as well as the benefit of others’ experiences (thanks to modern technology and a specialty computer software program designed for the blind and visually impaired. My husband (DH is an understated term) and I are involved in our church choir together, enjoy traveling, visiting friends around the country, and taking our grandchildren and Girl Scouts camping.
