And while we’re at it, let’s not forget that this is a really cheesy, feel-good comfort food kind of meal. Cheddar cheese is one of the main ingredients for ham potato corn chowder.

I haven’t tried this with the sharper cheeses like parmesan, though. Ham potato corn chowder is forgiving, but I’m not sure how forgiving.
