Beef and Bacon Chowder image

My mother discovered this recipe while I was still a child, and we loved it! To save time, I sometimes cook the carrots and potatoes in the microwave. Either way, this chowder is perfect for a family supper and special enough for company.-Marilyn Yost, Livingston, California
