Ingredients

0.5 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

Instructions

Prepare all the necessary ingredients.
In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook bacon until it reaches a crisp texture, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease, preserving the bacon and 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pot.
Introduce potatoes and onion into the pot; cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Incorporate corn, water, salt, and pepper; bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and continue simmering, while stirring frequently, until potatoes soften, around 20 minutes.
Gently warm half-and-half in a separate small saucepan until it begins to bubble; remove from the heat just before boiling point. Stir the warmed half-and-half into the chowder mixture.
Serve the corn chowder right away.
