Crappie/bluegill Chowder

[CrappieMagnet]

Just made up a fresh batch of this killer Chowder for dinner tonight.

1/4 to 1/2 pound bacon....chopped

3 to 4 green onions....including the tops

1 large leek....chopped

1 onion....chopped

1 carrot...sliced

3 stalks celery...chopped

2 cloves garlic...minced

3 potatoes(medium to large).....diced

3 turnips(medium to large).....diced

1 1/2 to 2 pounds bite-sized crappie or bluegill

2 large cans evaporated milk

This recipe is quick and easy to make. Brown

bacon,leek,onion,carrot,celery,and garlic. Add turnips and

potatoes. Cover and steam mixture. Put in crock pot, add crappie...or bluegill

and evaporated milk. Cover and cook on low until potatoes and

turnips are tender. Stir and eat. Total time depends on how long

you steam the potatoes and turnips. Usual time is about three to

four hours. You also can leave the vegetables raw and let them

cook all day. If you don't like turnips,substitute potatoes. However,

the turnips add a zesty flavor. To make the night before,add all

ingredients except the crappie/bluegill and store in the refrigerator. The

next morning add the crappie/bluegill and cook in a crock pot on low.

Hey Cricket...I bet if you go to any lake and throw a wiggly old worm on your hook....you could probably catch

the required amount of bluegills and crappies for this recipe...however I don't know about the other guy.....lol

Good luck and good fishing
