My grandmother passed on this recipe to me. The whole family enjoys it. a fantastic way to use those vegetables from the garden. I chop the corn off the ear while the other vegetables are boiling to save time.

My family loves this recipe! I made exactly as written the first time. The 2nd time, I doubled the recipe and added a can of fire roasted tomatoes with my fresh tomatoes. My son wants me to try it with roasted corn next time. This recipe is definitely in our meal rotation.
I used chicken bacon and light evaporated milk, and it tasted really good.
Really loved this recipe. I ended up not even adding the evaporated milk because it was delicious without!
Not bad, but just not for us.
This recipe is unbelievably delicious! If I could give it ten stars I would!!!!!!!! A time-saving/personal note: My husband and I live an hour from the nearest supermarket, so we rarely have lots of fresh vegetables on hand. I had the onion and bell pepper, but used canned diced tomatoes (drained, of coarse), and fortunately I had a bag each of frozen green beans and corn (not on the cob), which I just thawed in hot water. I used these in place of fresh vegetables, and the recipe still turned out fabulous!!!! For people without much time on their hands, this saves a fair amount of chopping and preparing. Just an idea.. worked for me!!!
