Healthy way of cooking meat suggestions!
This way of cooking meats is much better for you and taste better too!
Our family boils our meat in a big pot separately in water such as Beef cubes / hamburger OR sausage! 
We boil the meat in water for about 1 hour or until the meat is fully cooked. 
When done, we then use a colander and pour off the hot greasy water off into a bowl then you can 
discard out doors somewhere NOT pour your greasy water off into your kitchen sink! 
“Over time pouring grease or greasy water off into your kitchen sink drains will clog your drains” 
Now you have your meat cooked and a big percentage of your meat cooked without all that bad grease! 
Now you have your meat poured and drained in a bowl. 
Put the cooked drain meat in your chowder pot with all the other ingredients and cook until thickened and 
add to vegetables and milk.

Bring to simmer and serve warm.

Black iron country cornbread is good with this or rolls or even good crackers.

Enjoy this hearty home made tater beefy chowder!

Our family and friends has made this many times and its really good!
