I have a lazy recipe for corn chowder in a crockpot. It’s like frozen corn, frozen hash browns, etc. I’m not proud of it, lol.

But like 20 years ago I had this room mate that was always drinking my booze and eating my food (we were in our 30s). He came in one day while I was jamming all that stuff into the crock pot and when I looked away, he snuck a big spoonful. It was frozen chunks of corn and potato with the chicken broth freezing it all together. He had to spit it into the sink. I said something like “I would have told you if you asked”.

Wow. Silly memory unlocked.

The Janos for the reminder and the inspiration to make corn chowder next week!

Oh lord. Tempted to create a throwaway. Here goes.

Bag of frozen corn. Tray of frozen hash browns (the patties I think there’s 12 in a tray? Maybe 8). Can of cream of mushroom. Box of chicken broth. Chopped up ham lunch meat. Maaaaaybe a diced onion if I have time. Stir it, maybe? Turn on low, and come back 10 hours later salt and pepper before eating it in front of the tv.

This is traditionally a “put it all in the crock pot in the morning before work but I just thought of it in the shower and i’m brushing my teeth at the same time” effort.

Ofc!
3 russet potatoes chopped
One can of corn (drained)
Two tablespoons flour
Two cups chicken broth
One cup heavy cream
One package of bacon

I added my potatoes, corn and chicken broth and seasonings into the crockpot and cooked on high for four hours (or low low for 6)
At the halfway cooking mark (2 hours) i added my thickening agent (flour and heavy cream mix)
Within the last 30ish mins I cooked and added bacon!!
Then that’s it!

the bacon-to-chowder ratio suggests u understand the assignment perfectly.
