Game-Day Corn Chowder
My friend, Electa, brought a crock pot cookbook to work this week. All of us are trying to eat better and cut out all the fast food. Fast Food places are so convenient. By the time I leave work, drive home, and cook dinner, we end up eating at 8PM. Too late for my sensitive stomach. I copied some of the 5 ingredient crock pot recipes from Electa’s book and this is the first one I tried. Libby, my daughter, deemed it a “make again.” It’s called game-day corn chowder and was submitted by a woman named Laura Fuller from Fort Wayne, IN.
Game-Day Corn Chowder
1 Lb smoked pork sausage
3 cups frozen hash browns with onions and peppers
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
15 oz can creamed corn
10 ¾ oz can cream of mushroom with roasted garlic soup
2 cups water
Brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat, drain and cut into bite-size pieces
Place sausage in crock pot; top with hash browns and carrots
In a medium bowl, combine corn, soup, and water. Mix until blended.
Pour over sausage mixture.
Cover and cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours. Serves 6.
In keeping with my family tradition of using what is available in the pantry, I did not have pork sausage or the hash browns. So, I Mommy McQuivered, and used Lite Turkey Sausage, diced up 5 real potatoes and 1 small onion. Libby calls my culinary talent for coming up with edible dinner concoctions Mommy McQuiver meals. Based on the economy and my finances, we have many, many Mommy McQuiver meals. Some work, some don’t; this one paid off.
