Clams Casino

This is my fallback, never fail, really easy, can't mess up appetizer for parties or unexpected company. It can all be mixed in one foil pan, baked, transported, left out and tossed (either out completely or back in the refrigerator for nuking later)!

Ingredients

• 3 cans minced clams
• 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup chopped pimento
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 4 or 5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

1. Drain clams reserving juice.
2. Mix all ingredients, adding clam juice a little at a time until it holds together. (If you make it too wet, just add a little more bread crumbs.)
3. Put into casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until firm.
4. Serve with crackers.
