Cheesy Corn Chowder
 

Make One Get One

It's all about creating one dish and turning the leftovers into something new!

This satisfying corn chowder is extra easy to throw together when you have leftover Grill Roasted Corn-on-the-Cob in your fridge. Just cut the buttery corn off the cob to measure 1 1/2 cups (about 2 ears), then use the corn in this creamy soup that has tons of vegetables and packs a little punch of heat. Don't forget to top it off with not one, but two kids of Land O Lakes® shredded cheese.

It's another new meal, not just the leftovers. Enjoy!
