THE BEST CLAM DIP YOU WILL EVER EAT



The Best Clam Dip You Will Ever Eat image

Clam dip has been served for decades in my family at every gathering since I can remember. If we are planning on getting together someone always will the favored appetizer along with a big bowl of chips and a platter of fresh cut vegetables for dipping. I believe that through several generations of my family's honest group clam dip critiques this recipe has reached a level of perfection that no other clam dip around can boast.

1/3 cup(s) cottage cheese, small curd
2 tablespoon(s) mayonnaise or miracle whip
1/3 cup(s) minced onion
1/4 teaspoon(s) garlic powder (or to taste)
1 can(s) drained, minced clams

Steps:

  • MIX all ingredients well and spoon into dip bowl.
  • COVER with plastic wrap and CHILL for at least 1 hour
  • SERVE with chips or crackers. My favorites are with either Frito Lay Scoops or Triscuits. My family loves this dip. I think yours will too. Depending on the size of crowd, this recipe can be doubled, tripled or however much you want to make.
  • NOTE: I've made this with fresh minced onion or dried minced onion. I prefer the real onion, but the dried is much faster to measure with less tears!

MERILL'S BAKED CLAM DIP OREGANATA

This is my sister in law's recipe. It's like a clam pie or a giant baked clam served warm with crackers (I like Ritz for this). It could be prepared, up until the baking, a day in advance. Just put it in the refrigerator and bake when ready the next day! If you make it and freeze it for the future, just thaw and reheat. This is a family favorite and a crowd pleaser when I make it for guests - Enjoy! PS-I like it with 2 cans of chopped clams too! You get bigger clam pieces that way.
