Easy Potato and Corn Chowder - Crock Pot

This looks way better in the picture than it did in my crock pot. The flavor just isn't there either. I'm glad other people like it, but we don't. Sorry.

Very good.

I used frozen shopeg and yellow corn vs the 1 can of regular corn, but did use the cream corn as well.

Added milk and half and half combo vs evaporated which I am not a fan of.Also added a bit of vegetable broth to thin the chowder out a bit.

More seasoning was needed for
me and I added quite a few scallions for color as well as for flavor.

I did garnish with bacon and grated white cheddar.

Thx for a nice easy recipe.

One quick note:

Made again for a friend ... the type of crock pot will matter. My older one took 6 hours, my new crock which I used the batch I just took to a friend cooks much hotter. 4 hrs was plenty, 6 would of been dried out.

This was great! However, I only gave it four stars b/c I think my extras added a little more flavor (jalapeno, garlic, carrot, celery, cayenne and hot sauce). I took another's suggestion and added some broth b/c I knew it had to cook the full six hours while we were at work. I will make this again for sure! Thanks!
