Nothing sets off the winter blues than a good bowl of chowder. This recipe is bone-sticking, promising full bellies when dinner is done. Many of the ingredients may be found in your refrigerator already, but for other items try Save a Lot and Aldi. I know Aldi has bags of real bacon bits for $1.69 and a Velveeta-cheese type that is 1/2 the price of its counterpart and just as good.
1 lb. gr. beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium red pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove minced
3 tbsp. flour
1 lb potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 cups water
2 beef bouillon cubes
12 oz. processed, Velveeta-style cheese
2 tab. real bacon bits
Fry beef, onion, and pepper until beef is done. Drain. Add garlic and flour and cook one minute.
Gradually stir in milk, potatoes, water, and bouillon. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer, covered 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender. Add cheese, and stir until melted. Top with bacon bits just before serving.
