Cheesy Bacon Corn Chowder
A delicious chowder you'll want on repeat!
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- Salt and pepper too taste
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 chopped green pepper
- 1/2 stick of salted butter
- 2 drained cans of whole kernel corn
- 1/4-1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 lb 1lb of bacon cooked and chopped
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups 2% milk or your preference
- 16 oz Velvetta chopped into cubes helps melt faster
- Optional* 4 cubed potatoes
Instructions
- In a large pot, over medium heat, add oil to your pan and let it heat up.
- Next, add celery, carrots, green pepper and onions. Cook them until they are soft.
- Then, add seasonings, corn, minced garlic and let it all cook until the mixture is fragrant before adding butter.
- Once the butter is melted, mix in flour until it's coating everything and let it cook a couple minutes to remove the flour taste before adding milk and chicken stock.
- Stir frequently until it comes to a boil (if you added potatoes before this step check to see if they are fork tender).
- Once at a boil, fold in bacon and velvetta, stirring until smooth.
- Taste and season to your liking, serve hot!
