Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 6
Skill Level: Easy
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 slices turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 1/2 cups corn kernels
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- In a large pot, cook the turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In the same pot, add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot with the ground beef. Cook until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes and corn kernels into the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Pour in the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is fully melted and the chowder is creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with crispy turkey bacon and fresh parsley. Serve hot with a side of bread.
- For a smokier flavor: Use regular bacon instead of turkey bacon.
- Dairy-free option: Substitute heavy cream with coconut milk and use a non-dairy cheese.
- Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: Freeze the chowder for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently on the stovetop.
- Serve with a crisp green salad for a balanced meal.
- A glass of chilled lager or a light-bodied red wine complements the rich flavors of the chowder beautifully.
