Ingredients
For the Chowder:
- 8 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
- 8 garlic cloves, chopped
- 10 Tbsp flour
- 3 ½ cups chicken stock (low-salt recommended; we like “Better than Bouillon”)
- 1 ⅓ cups heavy cream
- 2 ½ cups frozen corn
- 2 Tbsp fresh chopped dill or 1 Tbsp dried dill
- 1 lb cooked, peeled, and deveined shrimp, chopped into bite-size pieces
For the Herb Drop Biscuits:
- 2 cups Bisquick
- 2 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley or 1 Tbsp dried parsley
- 1 Tbsp fresh chopped dill or ½ Tbsp dried dill
- 1 chopped green onion
- ⅔ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a 13×9-inch baking pan.
- Cook bacon in a skillet until crisp. Remove bacon and reserve the drippings.
- Add green onions to the skillet and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the onions and mix well.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken stock and heavy cream.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened (about 4–6 minutes).
- Stir in bacon, garlic, corn, dill, and shrimp. Remove from heat.
- Make the biscuits: In a medium bowl, combine Bisquick, parsley, dill, and green onion. Stir in milk until just moistened.
- Pour the chowder into the prepared baking dish. Drop biscuit dough by large spoonfuls (about 8) over the top.
- Bake 30–45 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown.
Tips & Variations
- RV-Friendly Prep: Cook the bacon and onions outside on a portable burner to keep your RV cool, then finish baking inside.
- Seafood Swap: Try this with crab or scallops for a coastal twist.
- Extra Veggies: Add diced carrots or celery with the green onions for more color and nutrition.
