Creamy Corn and Bacon Chowder for #SundaySupper. Easy one-pot Creamy Corn and Bacon Chowder full of corn, veggies, and bacon can be on your table in under 45 minutes!
We are celebrating Regional Food Specialties this Sunday!
Living in gorgeous Maine, most people associate this state’s food with Lobster Rolls, Blueberry Cobbler, and Chowder, or as the locals pronounce it, Chowdah! Since it is spring and lobsters and blueberries aren’t as plentiful, but boy- oh- boy, bacon, potatoes, and corn are, I created an easy and so delicious Corn and Bacon Chowder.
This delicious and colorful one-pot chowder is plenty filling as a main course or pre-main course.
I added plenty of veggies to give this chowder lots of flavors! Plus it has bacon in it, yes, everything is better with bacon! The corn stays crisp and is such a wonderful addition to this easy and delicious chowder!
