    Warm, hearty, and flavorful. This Crockpot Bacon Corn Chowder is one of my go-to fall recipes. Potatoes, corn, and bacon are the stars of this show. Even though this is a bowl of chowder, it is very filling and a great meal for a cold day. The bacon just helps kick this recipe up a notch and make it even better.

    What You Need

    Crockpot, potatoes, corn, broth, and onion in bowls on table.

    For this recipe you do not need a large crockpot. This is perfect in a 3 or 4 quart slow cooker.

    • Diced potatoes
    • Corn (frozen or canned & drained)
    • Chicken Broth
    • diced onion
    • salt & pepper
    • half & half
    • bacon
    • cornstarch

    How To Make

    Potatoes & corn in slow cooker

    In your 3 ½- to 4-quart slow cooker, mix potatoes, onion, corn, broth, salt and pepper. Then, cover; cook on High heat setting 3 to 4 hours or until potatoes are tender.

    Note: You can cook this on low for 6-8 hours, but it is important to note that your potatoes may become extra tender. They may even fall apart when cooked on low. Your chowder will still be delicious; the consistency just won't be the same.

    Half & Half being poured into crock pot with corn and potatoes

    Once your potatoes are done; In small bowl, beat half-and-half and cornstarch with whisk until smooth. Stir half-and-half mixture and bacon into mixture in slow-cooker. Cover; cook 10 to 15 minutes longer or until slightly thickened.

    Potatoes

    This recipe calls for small red potatoes. They tend to be more tender and can give a creamier end result. However, you can use any type of potato you have on hand with great results.

    Just cut them into 1 inch cubes and check for tenderness or doneness before you add the half and half.

    Serving

    This Crock Pot Bacon Corn Chowder is amazing all on its own. I love to top mine with a little shredded cheese, a few more bacon crumbles, and some diced green onion. Like with any soup this is delicious with some warm crusty bread. (Try this French bread).

    Storage

    When you are finished store any uneaten chowder in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    You can freeze this by leaving ½ to 1 inch at the top of the container for expansion. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen soup in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat over medium heat or in the microwave until hot.

    Gluten Free

    This recipe is gluten free. Just ensure that all of your ingredients are free from gluten. Some hidden sources could be the chicken broth and the bacon.
