Corn, Tomato, Bacon or Ham Chowder Too Good to Be True

Taken from several recipes of great taste, I adapted this recipe to what MY family is into, and, on what day of the week! LOL Feel free to change it up. Use ham instead of bacon. Toss it in the slowcooker, or throw it together and in 20 mins you hv dinner. It's EZ, inexpensive, creamy w/texture and veggies for the family. Have fun with it kiddies!
