Potato Corn Chowder is a simple, fast, and inexpensive meal that is always a hit with my kids. It also works well in the crockpot and freezes well.  It’s a great way to get some veggies into the mouths of my increasingly picky kids.

Recipe: Potato Corn Chowder

1 can cream corn

1 frozen bag of corn (I freeze fresh sweet corn and use that)

2 green onions chopped

4 potatoes, cubed

4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled (I sometimes use a bag of bacon bits)

salt and pepper to taste

Appx. 3 cups milk (I use skim, and add as much as I need to make it creamy)

I microwave the potatoes until almost tender, then mix all ingredients together and bring it to a boil. If I am making it in the crockpot, I’ll set it low so that the milk doesn’t burn and give it a few hours.
