Tasty Tuesday - Crab and Corn Chowder

I am participating in Tasty Tuesday and Tempt my Tummy Tuesday today! It's rare I remember to take a picture of what I'm cooking but I actually did on Sunday.


One of OnlySon's favorite things (while living at home) was Crab and Corn Chowder. He shared a March 3 birthday with my paternal grandmother. Crab and Corn Chowder and Crawfish Etouffee were usually on the menu for their shared parties. Italian Cream Cake was the dessert but we'll save that for another time!




Crab and Corn Chowder is so easy to make and is so yummy on a cold winter day. Keep the basic ingredients on hand and it's a quick and easy meal to throw together.



Crab and Corn Chowder

1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 Tbsp. butter
Red pepper to taste
2 cans cream of potato soup
1 soup can fat free half and half
2 soup cans milk (any %)
12 ounces cream cheese (I use low fat)
3 cans flaked crab meat
1 bag frozen corn, slightly cooked

Saute green onions and garlic in butter until tender.

Soften cream cheese in microwave. It will stir in much easier. Add remaining ingredients. Heat thoroughly. Serve with cornbread or french bread.

This is a "two for one" post for Tasty Tuesday and Tempt My Tummy Tuesday! There's some great cooking going on at these sites! Be sure to check out both of those blogs for some delicious recipes!


Today's recipes are so simple and are old as Methuselah! Considering he lived to be 969, that's pretty old eh?



Impossible Mexican Pie

l lb ground round
1 env. taco seasoning mix
1 - 4 oz. can chopped green chilies
1 cup grated Mont. Jack cheese (I use whatever I have on hand)
1 1/4 cup milk (I use 1%)
3 eggs
3/4 cup Bisquick mix
1/8 tsp. red pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion

Heat oven to 400. Cook ground round and onions in a 10" skillet until beef is brown. Drain. Stir in taco seasoning.

Lightly grease (I use Pam) a 10" pie plate. Spread beef mixture in the bottom. Sprinkle with chilies and cheese.

Beat remaining ingredients until smooth using an electric beater for 1 min. Pour into the pie plate.

Bake until golden brown approximately 30 minutes.



Cream Cheese Corn

1 large bag frozen whole kernel corn
4 Tablespoons butter
1 3 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened

Cook corn in microwave until partially cooked. I just cook it in the bag per instructions. Remove from bag and add butter and cream cheese. Stir and heat in microwave.

So creamy and good!
