👨‍🍳 Instructions

Place the bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat, and cook until crisp.

Drain and crumble, reserving about 2 tablespoons drippings in the pot.

Mix potatoes and onion into the pot with the crumbled bacon and reserved drippings.

Cook and stir 5 minutes.

Pour in the water, and stir in corn.

Season with salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover pot.

Simmer 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until potatoes are tender.

Warm the half-and-half in a small saucepan until it bubbles.

Remove from heat before it boils, and mix into the chowder just before serving.
