This is a recipe that I got from my brother recently and not sure where he got it. It is quick and easy to make and simply delicious. If you use the frozen hash brown potatoes and corn thaw them first. I usually use the fresh shredded hash browns from the dairy case. Cooking time specified does not include the cooked bacon.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of corn: You can use fresh, frozen, or canned corn in this chowder. If you're using fresh corn, be sure to remove the kernels from the cob before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in this chowder should be cooked until tender, but not mushy. Overcooking the vegetables will make them lose their flavor and texture.
  • Season the chowder to taste: Be sure to taste the chowder before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or Old Bay seasoning to taste.
  • Serve the chowder hot: Crab and corn chowder is best served hot. You can garnish it with fresh parsley, chopped chives, or crumbled bacon before serving.
