Budget Meal-SLOW-COOKER SEAFOOD CHOWDER

This time of year, fish is on sale so it’s a great time to stock up or at least buy a large bag and make several meals with it. Here’s a recipe for a seafood chowder that uses a slow cooker. It’s quick and delicious combined with bread and/or a salad.

Here’s what you’ll need…

2 lbs. frozen fish filets

1/4 lb. bacon, diced

1 medium onion, chopped

4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

2 cups water

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 can evaporated milk

Thaw the frozen fish in refrigerator and cut into bite-sized pieces and place in a slow cooker.

In a skillet, saute the bacon and onion until the bacon is cooked and the onion is golden.

Drain off the fat and add to the slow cooker.

Add the potatoes, water, salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 6 – 9 hours.

Add the evaporated milk during last hour.
