Specialty Corn Chowder
1 Small hunk of salt pork, chopped
2 medium onions, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 lbs red potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 large carrot, shredded
1½ cups frozen kernel corn
1 can cream style corn
1 small sweet red pepper chopped
1 cup half and half
½ cup milk
3 tbsp butter
½ tsp celery salt
Fresh ground pepper
Sauté salt pork and onion together in Dutch oven while peeling potatoes or until onions are golden. Add to onion and pork and barely cover with water. Cook 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Drain off most of the water and add remaining ingredients and cook until hot and slightly bubbly. Serve with Saltine crackers. This gets thicker as it matures in the fridge the next day. Some meals just taste better after they sit for a day, this is one of them.
