Easy Crockpot Clam Chowder, I mean what a better meal for a Washington rainy day right?? Now we are able to go to the beach and get fresh clams (thank you NW beaches) but sometimes it isn’t possible for us to get there, so thank goodness for canned clams!! Now I was nervous for the longest time to learn how to make slow cooker clam chowder, but now that I have I am shocked at how easy it is! (I have included links to some great products that I have bought on my own and we love. You can buy them as well through my online sales links)
It’s no surprise that I am obsessed with my crockpot, so being able to make a crock pot clam chowder was a total win for me. I mean really does anything beat being able to dump everything in my crockpot and not having to worry about it again? Now a couple years ago the thought of prepping veggies would have terrified me, and stopped me from trying new recipes.

Slow Cooker, 8-Quart
Chop up your celery, potatoes, and red onions
The milk and cornstarch will come in when the recipe is close to being done
Start to drop in all your ingredients into your crock pot. I even drop in all the bacon grease that was in the pan as well. (Trust me it adds a great flavor kick)
Cook on low for about 6 hours
About half an hour before you are ready to eat in a separate bowl mix together the milk and cornstarch, and then pour into the crockpot
Mix clam chowder well
Allow to cook on low for another half hour and serve and enjoy!
