Corn Chowder

I got this recipe from a lady from my old ward growing up, Ann. It's soooooo nummy.

Corn Chowder

Cook one pound bacon, reserving the bacon grease. Dice one whole onion and cook it in the bacon grease until soft. Set cooked onion aside, as well.

Peel and dice 6 - 8 potatoes. Cover the potatoes with barely enough water to cover them. Then boil until the potatoes are done. While this is cooking, make a white sauce:

White Sauce:
9 Tbsp. melted butter
12 Tbsp. flour
3/4 tsp. salt
3 cups milk

Melt the butter and blend in the flour, salt, and milk. Stir constantly over medium heat until mixture thickens. Add the white sauce to the undrained potato mixture. Add two cans of creamed corn, bacon, and onions. Heat through and salt and pepper to taste.
