Southwest Potato-Corn Chowder

photo by:kraft

Warm, hearty, chunky—and it all comes together in one saucepan. Red potatoes make it hearty, hot pepper cheese adds the spice and bacon does what bacon does—makes it awesome.

My husband LOVED this. I used already cooked bacon pieces and you could probably use a bag of fat free southern style frozen hash browns instead of cubing your own potatoes. Also used 1 can Pepper Jack Campbell's Soup and 4 oz velveeta b/c I couldn't find the pepper cheese. Yummy and EASY.

Very, very good. I used 8 oz. Velveeta Cheese instead of the hot cheese the receipe called for. Will make again and share with friends.

Truly Superb; I used half Kraft Monterey Jack, and half Kraft Pepper Jack, cheese instead of the Hoffman's Hot Pepper Cheese. Everybody loved it!

It was very good. My family loved it. Though it did take longer than 30 minutes as stated.

Instead of dicing potatoes, I added 2 cans of cream of potato soup and 2 10 oz. pkg. of frozen corn. Made it the day before and served it on Christmas day. Very simple to make and very good. Wish I had made more though.
