1 package sliced bacon, cut into small pieces
8- 10 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into small pieces
2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
1 chopped Onion
Salt and pepper to taste.

Thickening:
1/2 cup flour
1 cup water.

Fry bacon pieces until crisp. Drain grease and set bacon aside. Cook potatoes and onions in enought water to cover them in the same pan, so the bacon flaver cooks into the broth. Make thickening, by mixing water and flour. When potatoes are tender, add thickening, cheese, bacon, salt and pepper.
