Stooofed Clams

The beauty of having a best friend who has a summer house on the water is the direct access to fresh seafood. Yeah, I guess the view is nice too, but nothing beats the clams, mussels, steamers, and oysters her dad digs up for us. Being that the long days on the beach pretty much drains all our energy, we never feel like moving to go out for dinner or even the food market. Luckily for us, my friend's dad dug us up some massive clams the other night so I could prepare a heavenly meal of stuffed clams. 











Directions: 
Start off by putting the clams on the grill to open them up. Then clean out the shells and chop up the clam meat. While you are chopping that up you want to have cooked up some bacon in a pan. After the bacon is done save the fat because you are going to use it to cook some onions up in there. In another pan, start making your stuffing. To cut time in half we used boxed stuffing. After you're done chopping your clams add them to the stuffing mix, as well as the onions and bacon. I also like to add some hot pepper flakes for some heat. When all of that is done cooking put the stuffing in the shells and bake them on 320 for 20 minutes. Take out, let cool & enjoy!
