Cheesy Corn Chowder

I am SO looking forward to trying this recipe tonight!!!

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

4 cups milk

2 (15 ounce) cans creamed corn

1 1/2 cups shredded American cheese

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

*I am also going to add about 4 or 5 cut up potato's and a diced red pepper. I have heard that it is really good with potato's added, but you can obviously do it without the potato's as well.

Directions:

Using a saute pan over medium heat, saute onion (and pepper if you want that) in butter until tender. Add flour and stir, it will form a paste like consistency. Add milk and stir until thickened. Add corn, cheese and season with salt and pepper (add cut up potatoes as well if you want them). Heat through, until the cheese melts and then serve hot.

*You will probably have to let the chowder cook for awhile so that the potatoes can cook - no longer than an hour though*


Serve with cornbread or in our case, pretzel bread since we don't have/can't make corn bread!
