His was a complete miss for me. Followed exact recipe and it was watery and bland.

This recipe was just ok for me. Everything was brown when I opened the crockpot. Taste was a little bland. Won't be making it again.

I doubled the clams and potatoes as others suggested, but still needed more clams. I left it on low for 8 hours and came home to a slightly burned chowder. The flavor was pretty okay, but the potatoes cooked for too long and were mush, and it was slightly brown from being burned. I might try again when I can get home sooner. Maybe my crock pot cooks too hot.

The best clam chowder recipe I have tried. Simply perfect. Load up on the black pepper.

I made this recipe twice. The first time the milk curdled in the crock pot when I didn't stir it. The second time I was home and stirred it every 2 hours or so. It did not curdled, but it came out with an odd brown color and a film over the top (I'm assuming from the bacon grease). It was edible the second time but I probably won't make it again.

I made this for my mother's birthday and she absolutely ADORED IT! And that's a lot coming from my mother, she's VERY picky. I made a few minute changes. For example I used 3 cans of minced clams because my mother loves clams. I also used hormel real bacon bits instead of the sliced bacon because that's what I had on hand. It worked out GREAT! I will definitely be making this recipe again! Thanks!

Watery, bland, non-clam Chowder. I made this exactly to the recipie and it was very bland. Very watery and tasteless and a teeny 6 oz can of clams gets lost in all the liquid.. I'm shocked it has a 4 star rating. It also is way more than 6 servings since given so much liquid is in this recipe.

This is great! I've never made Clam Chowder before, but after reading the reviews decided to try this with a few additions. I did use two cans of clams, and I'm glad I did; even with that they seemed a little thin on the ground. I used 4 potatoes, which seemed just about right; I used 2 onions, rather than measure a cup. My crockpot cooks pretty hot, so I added the milk when I added the clams; after 4 hours on high. The milk and clams got about 20 minutes on high, 20 minutes on low, then we ate. Yum yum yum! One suggestion for a side; Garlic Cheese Quick Bread, from this site. I made this for my birthday dinner and was not disappointed! Thanks for a great recipe!

I was pleasantly surprized how much i liked this. I'm not a big fan of seafood, but the clam taste was so small that i really enjoyed it. I made it for my boyfriend who loves clam chowder, and he loved this too. He did say it was not "clammy" enough. Next time i think I might add whole belly clams also. I did end up making some alterations- adding more clams and potatoes and adding half and half at the end with the clams instead of the evaporated milk. overall great and something I will be making again :)
