INGREDIENTS:

• 10 slices bacon (about 1/2 pound)
• 1 Tbsp. butter
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 tsp. celery seed
• 2 15-oz. cans cream-style corn
• 2 cups 2% milk
• 2 cups Heluva Good!® Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated

Cook 6 of the bacon slices either in a microwave or in a pan, until crisp. Crumble and set aside. Chop the other 4 slices. Melt butter in a 2 1/2-quart saucepan. Add bacon and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Add onion and continue cooking until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes more. Add celery seed, cream-style corn and milk. Heat until hot, but not boiling. Add the grated cheese a handful at a time, stirring until cheese is melted. Then add the next handful. Pour chowder into bowls and garnish with crumbled bacon.
