Crites Family Stuff

Description

Debbie McFarland: Better double the batch, it is so good. Even my non-onion eaters said nothing about the onions.

Ingredients for 12 servings

• 6 medium potatoes diced
• 2 quarts water
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 carrots sliced thin
• 2 stalks celery sliced thin
• 1 chopped onion
• .5 lb bacon
• 6 tbsp flour
• 6 tbsp bacon grease
• 1.5 cups milk

Steps

1. In a large pan cook potatoes, celery, carrots, salt in the 2 quarts of water. While this is cooking slice bacon and start to fry. About halfway though, add the one chopped onion and continue to cook until bacon is done and onion is translucent. Drain off grease to get 6 tbsp. Add grease back in and add flour and cook together for a moment. Drain the veggies and reserve the liquid. Add the milk and bacon/flour mixture to the veggies, stir and bring to a boil. Add back as much of the veggie broth as needed to make it the consistency you want. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
