"Among the famous duos of history, Adam and Eve, Paris and Helen, Anthony and Cleopatra, Tristan and Isolde is bacon and eggs meeting daily in sunny harmony at the breakfast table."


Bacon Chowder

8 strips bacon
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 can (1 pound) cream-style corn
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Pan fry bacon until crisp. Place bacon onto paper towels to absorb the grease.  Pour most of the bacon grease out of the pan and dispose of properly.  Cook onion in remaining drippings.  Stir in corn, milk, and seasonings.  Simmer 5 to 10 minutes.  Serve chowder topped with crisp bacon pieces.  Yield 4 servings.
