Corn Chowder With Potatoes And Bacon

This is a recipe that I got in Winnipeg at least twenty five years ago. Real comfort food on a cold day.
Ingredients:

• 1 cup diced bacon
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cups water 3 cans cream-style corn
• 1 teaspoon salt
• pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 cups half-and-half or light cream

Preparation:

Sauté bacon until browned and crisp; add chopped potatoes and onions. Add water, corn, and seasonings; cover and simmer for about an hour. Stir in half-and-half; heat through but do not boil. Serves 4 to 6.
