This hearty chowder requires 5 quick minutes or easy knife work to be ready for a full day of slow cooking. Using the slow cooker builds a complex, layered base for the stew. The addition of bacon creates a rich smokiness that compliments the delicate nature of the tilapia. If you do not enjoy nutmeg, it can easily be omitted without damaging the flavor of the dish. Add the fish and cream when you come home from your day, being sure to plan for the 20 minutes of HIGH temperature cook time on the fish. For a flavor twist, substitute 1 trimmed, chopped, large fennel bulb for the celery. A light butter lettuce salad with a simple vinaigrette is the ideal accompaniment to this chowder.
