Great basic recipe. I omit the half and half, but puree one of the cans of creamed corn so it is smooth. This makes the texture silky without adding all the fat. I also use packaged REAL bacon bits (from Costso) to save time and mess--just add the potatoes and onion to them in a pan and crisp up a bit. There is far less bacon fat this way and we dont notice a diference in the taste. That said, however, I do add about a cup of leftover diced chickn at the end of cooking and also about an ounce of grated cheddar on top. This makes it seem like more of a "real" meal to us. I have also used some smoked ham to punch up the flavor and ALWAYS use chicken stock rather than water.
