Description

My Grandma Blacknall was a great cook and baker. One recipe that is most popular with our family is Grandma Blacknall’s Famous Chocolate Chippers! A while back my older sister and I went through Grandma’s Recipe Box and pulled out some recipes to try. Here is her chowder and it is SO DELICIOUS!

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Chopped Green Pepper
  • ⅓ cups Diced Onion
  • 1-½ cup Finely Chopped Potatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2-¾ cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Pepper
  • 2-¼ cups Milk
  • ¼ cups Cornstarch
  • 2-¼ cups Corn
  • 2 ounces, weight Jar Of Chopped Pimentos

Preparation

Chop your green pepper, onion, and potato. Next you will want to cook the green pepper and onion in the vegetable spray until tender, about 5 minutes. I didn’t have any vegetable cooking spray, so I just used a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in the pan.

Stir every few minutes for about 5-8 minutes until tender.

Next, stir in chicken broth, potatoes, salt & pepper.

Bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and let simmer for 5-7 minutes until tender.

In a separate bowl, combine milk and cornstarch and stir until smooth. Then gradually add to potato mixture and stir.

Add corn and pimentos!

Bring your chowder to a boil over medium heat, stir until thick. This is where it is important to make sure you are stirring often, so it doesn’t burn to the bottom of the pan!

Since Big D can’t eat anything that doesn’t have some sort of meat in it, I added and stirred in some crab meat chunks once it was thick and I turned off the burner. This allowed the crab meat to warm up in the chowder right before serving. But you can eat it without meat or add meat, whatever works for you!

This chowder was absolutely delicious and flavorful! Great autumn meal or comfort food! Thanks Grandma Blacknall, we loved it!

This looks like a wonderful comfort food for the cold winter days ahead!

It looks like you have served it over a biscuit or some sort of bread, which sounds like it would be so yummy.
Do you usually serve it over something?
