Beef and Bacon Chowder image

My mother discovered this recipe while I was still a child, and we loved it! To save time, I sometimes cook the carrots and potatoes in the microwave. Either way, this chowder is perfect for a family supper and special enough for company.-Marilyn Yost, Livingston, California

I've never made chowder before, but this recipe was easy to follow and the chowder turned out great. I'll definitely be making it again.

This chowder was a disaster. The beef was tough, the bacon was burnt, and the broth was flavorless.

This chowder is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try making it with less cream next time.
