| Dice up all vegetables and bacon or ham.
In a sauce pan, cook the bacon until crisp and brown.
(If using ham, use approximately 1/4 cup vegetable oil
to saute ham.) Add all vegetables and saute them in
the same pan as the meat. After celery and onion are
clarified, add 2 cups of water and allow to steam to
finish cooking potatoes.
Prepare cream sauce as directed. Stir in the cheese
until smooth. Add white pepper. Stir.
Add the entire contents of the sauce pan (bacon/ham,
peppers, onions, celery, and potatoes) to the cheese
sauce mixture. Stir until evenly distributed. Allow
to steep for 10 - 15 minutes. Check flavor - add salt
as needed. Add more water as desired. |
