Yesterday I started making corn chowder with bacon and potatoes.
I completed most of it and then today I put the slow cooker bag I used yesterday that still had the chowder in it back in them slow cooker and added some more corn and the second half of the evaporated milk.
This does not have to be made this way but if you don't have the time or you think of doing this later in the day this is an option. I just wanted to share that with you . Yes you can make this all at one time.
Corn Chowder with Bacon & Potatoes.
Ingredients:
1 slow cooker bag
2 large carrots, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
4 potatoes, chopped
2 14-16oz cans of corn (drained) OR one small 10-12oz bag of frozen corn
2 14-16oz cans of creamed corn
4 cups of water OR chicken broth
1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
½ teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste
1 12oz can of evaporated milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons of butter (optional)
Instructions
1. Place everything except for the evaporated milk, cornstarch and butter or margarine into the slow cooker.
2. Add just enough water or chicken stock to cover the ingredients.
3. Cook on high 5 hours or low 7-8 hours until vegetables are softened.
4. Combine cornstarch and evaporated milk. Stir into slow cooker along with butter 30 minutes before serving,
5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
This is so rich and delicious but for me this is a full meal but adding a tossed salad on the side with certainly complete this for your family.
This is going to make a lot and I believe you'll have at least two good size bowls or 4 foam cups that you can freeze for other meals.
All the ingredients with the exception of bacon can be purchased at the Dollar Tree but you may find a better value on the corn elsewhere.
Fidelity you can purchase chicken bacon if you would prefer to use that and it would save you quite a bit of money if you do .
No matter how you make this what your preferences I think you totally enjoyed the experience of this corn chowder.
