Corn Chowder for a Crowd

Corn Chowder for a Crowd

This recipe makes a rich corn chowder that is easy to make in a large (5- to 6-qt) slow cooker. I like to enhance it with bacon, but depending on your taste, you could also add shrimp and/or jalapeno peppers. Garnish with shredded Cheddar cheese if you like.
