In a large pot over medium heat, cook the bacon in butter until evenly brown, but not crisp. Mix in the onion, and coat with the bacon drippings. Stir in potatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Mix in the flour and a small amount of water, stirring until smooth. Cover pot, and cook 10 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Add cans of milk. Add more milk as needed. Reduce heat to low. Simmer soup 1 hour, stirring frequently to avoid scorching.
