Clubfoodys Clams Casino Recipes

LYNN'S KILLER CLAMS CASINO

Steps:

• Have vendor that sells clams open them for you.
• Cook bacon until almost crisp (can sauté or bake). Set aside when done.
• Pour enough olive oil in bottom of pan to sauté (I'm somewhat generous with the olive oil). Be sure not to overwhelm the onion and pepper mixture. You don't want it to oily.
• 1 onion chopped pretty well.
• Sauté onion and chopped red pepper. (I use red pepper because it is sweeter taste than green).
• Sauté till onions are almost caramelized.
• Pour Worcestershire sauce on mixture.
• Taste mixture to see if it needs more Worcestershire sauce (we like it tangy).
• Spoon mixture over each clam.
• Crumble almost done bacon.
• Put under broiler for a minute.
• Don't burn bacon.
• Walla this is just the best thing EVER!
