paired with some homemade rolls or biscuits and you've got yourself the *perfect* fall dinner. i made this last week and we loved it so much, i've got it on my menu plan for this week as well! and a double bonus? it's super easy and low maintenance.
have i told you enough how much i {heart} my crockpot? just making sure.
i found this recipe on allrecipes.com and adapted it a bit to suit our taste (and to make it not so fatty... any recipe that calls for bacon grease raises a little health-conscious-red-flag for me!).
here you go:
crockpot corn chowder
* 4-5 slices of turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
* 4 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
* 1 onion, diced
* 2 cans of creamed style corn
* 1 can whole kernel corn
* 2 cups of chicken broth
* 2 t. salt
* 1 t. pepper
* 1/4 c. sharp cheddar cheese
* 1 1/2 c. half&half (i know, i know, but the original recipe called for two cups!)
- place potatoes, onion, corn, chicken broth, salt and pepper into the crockpot, cook on high for 4-6 hours or until your potatoes/onions are tender.
- turn crockpot onto warm setting (or off if it doesn't have one), and after a few minutes, stir in cheddar cheese and half&half.
- ladle into bowls and top with crumbled bacon
see, i told you it was easy! and oh-so-yummy. i served this with these delicious pumpkin dinner rolls for a perfect dinner on a crisp fall evening. this week i have this chowder and homemade biscuits on the menu for a weekend dinner.
yum. is it friday yet?
enjoy :)
That sounds so delicious! I don't cook very much but by the sounds of it I could do it. It would be perfect for the snow days!!
