Ham and Potato chowder

In the winter time or really anytime I love to make recipes in the crock pot! It's so easy I just dump the ingredients inside and I trust my crock pot to do the rest of the work.

After a long day it's really nice to come home to dinner all done. The Crock pot is basically like a big stove. A lot of the recipes you make on the stove you can easily convert into a recipe for the crock pot! If you have any recipes you would like me to convert for you, let me know.
Ham and potato chowder: 


Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 cups milk
1 cup water
21/2 cups diced potatoes, about 4
1 cup chicken broth
pepper to taste
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups fully cooked ham, diced

Directions:
Put crock pot on high and melt 11/2 tablespoon of butter, saute the onions till translucent. Stir in flour till blended. Add milk, water, potatoes, ham, chicken broth, pepper, and cheese.

This recipe came out tasting great, the flavor was really amazing. I will be making this again.
