Grandma Kazmarks Clam Dip As Edited By Dad Recipes

GARLIC LOVER'S CLAM DIP

Steps:

• Drain clam juice into a measuring cup or small container, and set aside.
• In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and enough of the clam juice for the dip to reach your desired consistency (it shouldn't be too thick that it will break your chips). Reserve the rest of the clam juice.
• Mix in chopped clams and fresh garlic.
• Mix in garlic salt (to taste).
• The dip can be served immediately, or chilled in the refrigerator to serve later. As the dip will thicken in the fridge, stir in some of the reserved clam juice before serving to bring it back to a nice thickness for dipping.
• Serve with Classic Lay's or Ruffles potato chips.

• In a medium size skillet, saute the butter, onion and garlic over low heat a minute or two, being careful not to let the garlic brown.
• Add the clams with their juice, parsley flakes and oregano to the pan and mix.
• Saute for a few minutes and then add the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
• The texture should be like a paste.
• If not, adjust by adding bread crumbs.
• Put mixture in an oven proof pie dish and add paprika sprinkled on top.
• Bake in 350 degree oven, for 25 to 30 minutes, until slightly golden and bubbly.
