Ingredients

  • 1 pound sliced bacon

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 2 cups water, or as needed

  • 1 ½ pounds cod fillets, cut into 1 inch cubes

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

  • ½ cup whole milk

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Cook bacon in a large stockpot over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate; crumble and set aside. Drain bacon grease, reserving about 1 tablespoon in the pot.

  2. Add onion to reserved bacon grease; cook and stir over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and fill the pot with just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are almost tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add fish, evaporated milk, whole milk, and butter; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Ladle chowder into bowls and top with crumbled bacon.
