Ham and Corn Chowder

This is another one of my infamous recipes and it is sooooo yummy!  GREAT recipe for leftover ham (Christmas or Easter ham overload anyone?)

Diced Ham (please buy a ham and cut it yourself.  It's way yummier than the pre-diced lunch meat style ham)
Approx 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
4 cans of Cream Style Corn
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Ground Black Pepper
Milk

I do VERY little measuring in this recipe so bear with me and modify to fit your family.

Pour corn in to large pot.  Heat over medium heat.  Add ham, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.  Pour about 1/4-1/2 cup of milk at a time in to the pot until the chowder reaches the desired consistency.  Add the cheddar cheese, one handful at a time stirring VERY often.  You may need to turn the heat down.  If you cook this recipe on too high heat it will make the cheese separate and you'll end up with a very odd texture, so take your time and let the cheese melt gradually.  Once cheese is melted, the chowder is ready to serve :)

Enjoy!  I'd love to hear your opinions on this one.
