Ingredients

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (your choice, reg, LF or FF)
  • 2 (4 ounce) cans clams, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 -2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish (more if you like it spicier, like we do)
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced (more if you like garlic...like we do)
  • 1 -2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (to taste)
  • couple of dashes Tabasco sauce

Method

  • Drain the clams, saving all the juice from one can and half the juice from the other.
  • Mix all the ingredients together and keep stirring until the cream cheese
  • is completely mixed in -- may take awhile.
  • Consistency should be thick enough to be dipped with a chip, if runny, you have added too much liquid.
  • Can be served immediately, but is better if refrigerated for a couple of hours.
  • Lets the dip firm up and really absorb the flavors.
  • Serve with potato chips.
  • Serves -- depends on your family!
  • (This is my version which is somewhat doubled, because the single version didn't last but a few minutes with my family.
  • ).
