Deviled Clams Old Fashioned Style (Almost!)

"This is a variation of recipe #14972 (thank you Cathy). It is spicier, and the chowder clams have an earthier flavor reminiscent of one of my favorites of many years ago. These freeze well and defrost/reheat easily in a microwave for quick dinners."

  1. This is a nice clam recipe with a little kick. I could not find chowder clams so I had to use littlenecks and adjust some of the measurements. I left the clams whole because they were so little.. The stuffing mix was great. I will definitely make these again. Hopefully, with the bigger clams.
