New England Clam Chowder (Crock Pot)

I love to cook Clam Chowder in the Winter! And my family loves eating it! I was happy to find a crock pot version a few years ago. It is just as good as the original!

2 (7 oz) cans of clams, undrained
3 slices bacon, diced
1 onion, chopped
½ cup green onions, sliced
2 potatoes, finely diced
1 ½ cups water
¼ tsp pepper
1 can evaporated milk
1 ½ tsp salt
½ tsp thyme

Place clams and their liquid in crock pot. Saute bacon and onion until golden and place in crock pot. Add all remaining ingredients except evaporated milk. Cover and cook on low 6-9 hours or high 2 ½ -3 ½ hours. Stir in evaporated milk and serve.
