COUNTY CORK CHEESE CHOWDER 1/4 tsp. pepper 1 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 c. chopped onion 1/2 c. diced carrots 2 c. diced potatoes 2 c. boiling water 1/2 c. diced celery Combine in kettle and simmer, covered, for 20 to 30 minutes. White Sauce: 1/4 c. butter 1/4 c. flour 2 c. milk 8 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese White Sauce: Melt butter in pan and stir in flour with a whisk until smooth and bubbly; add milk and stir until smooth and thickened. Add cheese to white sauce and stir until blended (shred cheese first). Add 8 slices bacon, cut into strips and fried crisp. Combine vegetables and water with white sauce and bacon; serve with chopped parsley on top. Note: We enjoy this so much, I always double the recipe and double the amount of bacon. For that reason, I don't salt it until everything is together. It can get too salty.
