I have doubled and tripled this recipe when the whole gang was here and they still can't get their fill of it.
Cheddar Chowder
2 cups water
2 cups diced potatoes
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup chopped cauliflower
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Combine these ingredients in saucepan and boil for 10-12 minutes. DO NOT DRAIN when finished cooking this.
White Sauce:
1/4 cup butter/margarine
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup cubed ham
Melt butter in saucepan, add flour and stir until smooth, (about 1 minute) Slowly add milk; cook until thickened. Add grated cheese to white sauce, stirring until cheese is melted. Add white sauce to vegetables that have not been drained, stir to blend, add ham. Heat through.
Single recipe makes 6 servings.
***I make mine and put it in my slow cooker on low, everyone helps themselves whenever they are hungry..which is ALL the time around here! LOL This thickens more over the time it's in the slow cooker and the next day it's even better. :)
