This recipe is a keeper! I used unpeeled red potatoes and a red onion as well as the pepper it calls for, so the color is really pretty. I used whole milk, and added some ham in with the bacon. I doubled the frozen corn, and used Ms. Dash type seasoning that I had in my pantry rather than buying thyme.
