Corn Chowder

Yum yum!!!
Here is my recipe for my corn chowder , I made this the other night ...
I made a large pot so this makes a ton and lots of leftovers if you want to take some for lunch or share with a neighbor .. I have boys who eat it up!

8 to 10 potatoes skins on and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 small onion diced 
4 ears of corn roasted on the grill for the deep dark color and yummy flavor or if you wish 1 package of frozen
6 cups ish of water give or take how large the pan is and how much stuff you are using
2 or 3 cups of milk ( you may use heavy cream but I dont )
1 lb of bacon now here is my "secret" to the bacon ..
I use my scissors and cut the strips up into small pieces fry it up and render it off as much as I want the drippings for the onion and corn to cook up and get tender ..  
Then I drain the bacon leaving a few tsps of the drippings in the pan and transfer it to a cookie sheet and let it finish cooking down till its to my liking  . Some of us like it crisp some not so much so you decide.

After You have cut the bacon up and let it do its thing , while it finishes in the oven add your onion and corn to the pot and let them get all tender and translucent. While they do that cut the potatoes up and add them and the water to the pot. Cook till tender add the milk , salt and pepper to taste and dont forget to mix in that bacon . Now this will become thick but if you have a impatient crowd then grab those potato flakes and add a cup or so of them that will thicken it right up and be ready to serve asap!
