Corn Chowder for a Crowd
This corn chowder for a crowd recipe makes a rich corn chowder that is easy to make in a large (5- to 6-quart) slow cooker. I like to enhance it with bacon, but depending on your taste, you could also add shrimp and (or) jalapeño peppers. Garnish with shredded Cheddar cheese if you like.

This crawfish bisque recipe is creamy and hearty. My mom and I make it frequently — always to rave reviews. Being from Louisiana, I am happy to be able to make a crawfish bisque better than what I've tried at any restaurant. Serve with French bread and a nice salad.
