Crock Pot Cheesy Corn and Ham Chowder

"A flexible recipe, cobbled together from what I had on hand in the cupboards and fridge after reading a few recipes for various corn chowders, that goes into the crock pot. I just made it and didn't want to lose it! The amounts on the spices are best guesses, so can be adjusted to suit your tastes and inclinations."

  1. I created my account specifically to leave this a 5 star review :D I've made this twice now and my family LOVES it! We serve it in bread bowls and it's a perfect dinner on a cold fall/winter night!
     
  2. I made a few adjustments when making this recipe, but nothing outrageous, I think! What with all the salt in some of the other ingredients, I left out the 1/2 teaspoon of salt & also cut back on the cayenne pepper, then substituted milk with 2% fat for the half-and-half, while eliminating the hot sauce altogether! AND STILL, we had a very satisfing chowder, & will keep the recipe around to make again! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef]

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Columbus, Ohio, and work as a cashier supervisor, a job I actually love most days. I'm a single woman, but I do love to cook for myself, friends and family. I am an inveterate recipe collector and I read cookbooks the way other people read the current fiction best seller. I am forever tweaking and playing with recipes, as I tend to think of them as general guidelines that are open to interpretation and adaptation. I believe that there is no reason to subject yourself to drive-throughs and fast food just because you're cooking for one or two because if you can read, you can cook.
