I got this from a lady at church, but I don't remember her name... sorry lady!

Ingredients:
2 T bacon fat or cooking oil
4 medium potatoes, diced
2 t salt
1/2 t thyme
1 can whole kernel corn
1 can evaporated milk
1 large onion, chopped
2 T flour
1/4 t pepper
2-3 c water
1 can creamed corn
bacon bits

Directions:
Heat bacon fat or cooking oil in heavy deep saucepan; add onion and potatoes. Sprinkle with flour, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix well. Add water to cover. Bring to boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and potatoes are tender. Stir in the corn and slowly add the milk. Heat but don't boil. Serve with bacon bits sprinkled on top.
