Our family loves Creamy Bacon Corn Chowder especially when I make it with corn off the cob and lots of thick bacon. Even in the summer I make it because we have access to some of the sweetest corn on the cob. Plus it’s a meal that the entire family loves and it’s something I can make in the morning and enjoy throughout the day.
Having the right bacon makes this dish! I use Wright® Brand Bacon Thicker Cut (which I buy at Walmart) because well, it’s thicker, it’s a good quality bacon and it comes in a 1.5lb package. I love that it comes in the 1.5lb package; this way I have enough for the recipe and enough to sprinkle some on top of the chowder before serving. For me, I know I’m getting a great value @Walmart, and who doesn’t love a great deal? The only problem is keeping the kids from eating it while I’m making the soup. I have to keep reminding them that I won’t have any left if they keep sneaking it from me, lol. Once you have your bacon, grab the corn on the cob, the other ingredients and get ready to enjoy some delicious chowder!
