QUICK AND EASY CRAB AND CORN CHOWDER

Quick and Easy Crab and Corn Chowder image

This is a recipe that I got from my brother recently and not sure where he got it. It is quick and easy to make and simply delicious. If you use the frozen hash brown potatoes and corn thaw them first. I usually use the fresh shredded hash browns from the dairy case. Cooking time specified does not include the cooked bacon.
