Description

Ingredients

• 1 Cup of butter
• 1 Cup flour
• 1 Gallon milk of your choice
• 3 Pounds cooked and cooled potatoes - Cut into cubes
• 1/2 Pound of cooked and chopped bacon
• 1 lb Grated cheese of your choice (I use a sharp raw cheddar cheese)
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• Optional
• 1/2 Cup chopped green onions
• 1 Cup sour cream

Directions

• Over medium-low heat, melt butter in large soup pan. Reduce heat to low and add flour. Mix until smooth. One tablespoon at a time add milk. Mix thoroughly after each addition of milk, making sure that mix is completely smooth before adding more milk. Once mix reaches a soupy consistency, add remaining milk and stir briefly. Allow to cook over low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add remaining ingredients and cook for an additional 45 minutes or until thickened.
