Why You'll Love Making This

This chowder is full of bold flavors and a comforting warmth that’s perfect for chilly days. It’s easy to prepare, thanks to the slow cooker, and the spicy kick adds an exciting twist to a classic corn chowder. Plus, it’s hearty enough to satisfy a crowd or keep you cozy for leftovers.

Tips For Best Results

- Use fresh or frozen corn for the best sweetness and texture.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili powder or hot sauce.
- Stir the chowder occasionally in the slow cooker to prevent ingredients from sticking to the bottom.

Step 1

Tos the potatoes, chicken broth, cream-style corn, whole-kernel corn, half-and-half, butter, bell peppers, onion, and black pepper into your slow cooker. Set it to Low and let it wait for the rest.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook it, breaking it up with a spoon until it’s nicely browned and crumbly—this usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Once it’s cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a bowl, trying to leave as much of the fat behind in the pan as you can.

Step 3

Sprinkle the sausage with the flour and give it a good toss so it’s evenly coated. Then, stir the sausage into the slow cooker.

Step 4

Pop the lid on and let everything cook on Low for about 4 hours, stirring every now and then until the vegetables are nice and tender.

Creative Serving Ideas

Serve this chowder with crusty bread or warm cornbread to soak up the flavorful broth. A simple side salad or steamed greens also pairs nicely to balance the richness. Top with a dollop of sour cream or shredded cheese for extra creaminess.

Keeping It Fresh

Allow the chowder to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It also freezes well—portion into freezer-safe containers and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating gently on the stove.
