Better Than Dad's Clam Casino image

I've been trying to copy my Dad's version of Clam Casino to no avail (even when I have him on the phone) So I gave it up and made up my own; guess what? They're BETTER!

Time 30m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

30 quahogs (chowder clams)
3 large elephant garlic cloves, minced
1 large vidalia onion, minced
1 red pepper, diced
1 orange bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups cheese, I buy a bag of Italian five cheeses already shredded (parmesan, mozzarella, asagio, provolone)
breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Saute the first six ingredients in olive oil until softened but not browned.
  • Steam clams in batches and remove as they JUST BEGIN TO OPEN. Allow to cool and reserve clam broth.
  • Remove clams from shells and save half of each shell.
  • Process clams with a little broth in a food processor until a little chunky.
  • Combine clams with first six ingredients and add 1 cup of mixed cheeses, mix well.
  • Add breadcrumbs, mixing completely until it holds together like a stuffing; if it seems a little dry add more clam broth.
  • Fill clam shells with this mixture and bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover clams. I had some leftover from a seafood boil, and they worked perfectly in this dish.

I was a bit skeptical about making clam casino at home, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. It was surprisingly easy to make and turned out absolutely delicious.

I've made clam casino many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of bacon and green onions really takes it to the next level.

This clam casino recipe is a keeper! The clams were tender and flavorful, and the topping was crispy and cheesy. I'll definitely be making this again.
