(I am the walking dead, so the high fat content here is a moot point. But this was orgasmically good.)
Diced and rendered 1/2 pkg bacon
Saute'ed the following in the bacon fat, with a little olive oil added after removing/draining/saving the bacon bits:
a humongous red onion, diced tiny
a humongous potato, diced
a whole bunch of asparagus, diced tiny
All of the above was seasoned with a handful of curry, hefty dashes of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons oregano, and 2 tsps black pepper
When the above was soft, added 2 bags of frozen corn, with some of each of the above seasonings
Added enough hot chicken stock to cover the above
When everything was at a boil, I reduced the heat and added:
a pint of heavy cream
4 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Warmed through at a simmer.
Served with the bacon as a garnish.
Tortilla chips on the side.
