Easy Corn Chowder

1 packet McCormick® Original Country Gravy mix

2 large potatoes

1 can creamed style corn

1 can whole kernel corn

1 c. milk

6 strips cooked bacon (crumbled) and drippings

1/2 c. chopped onions (opt.)

salt & pepper

Peel and cube the potatoes. Place in water and bring to a boil for 10 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain and return to pan. In a separate pan, prepare the gravy mixture as directed on the packet. Once thickened, pour over potatoes. Add the corn, onions, bacon and drippings. Stir well. Stir in the milk. Salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer until heated through, stirring occasionally.

Recipe can be easily doubled and freezes well. Can also be warmed in a crock pot once prepared.
