Corn Chowder

Another quick and easy recipe we like at our house and everyone eats it. :) I got it years ago from my friend Emily. I think this would be a really easy recipe to throw into the crockpot and cook since the only thing that really has to cook through is the potatoes. For the bacon, I often use the precooked bacon crumbles. Makes it super easy.

Corn Chowder

1 medium onion, chopped
2 Tbsp. butter
3 cups diced potatoes
1/2 lb. bacon, fried (really crispy) and crumbled
2 cans creamed corn*
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. parsley
1/4 tsp. paprika
black pepper, to taste

Melt butter and saute the onions, soon followed by the potatoes. Saute for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook over low heat for 1 hour. Stir often (or potatoes will stick to the bottom of your pan!). Serves about 6.

*if you don't have creamed corn on hand, you can use regular corn and add a scoop or two of sour cream.
