This is one of the many seafood dishes I make for Christmas Eve. It is my mom's recipe which, like all of her wonderful recipes, has been passed on to me. Preparing these is a family affair. My three boys and husband do the shucking (which really is the worst part) while I prepare the bacon and sauce. As you can see, I make at least 100 of these and I never have leftovers. I'm not even a big clam lover but I love these.

How To Make clams casino
-
1Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
2Place clams (in their half shell) in jelly roll pans or any type of roasting pans - just make sure the pan has a lip so juices don't run off.
-
3In a medium sauce pan melt the butter and then add the equivalent amount of the olive oil - about 1/4 cup.
-
4Add the garlic, parsley, pepper, juice from the lemons and yellow pepper to the butter/oil. Cook until the pepper becomes slightly soft.
-
5Meanwhile - place the bacon on a paper towel covered plate, cover with another paper towel and microwave. The bacon should be cooked but still soft - not crunchy. You'll have to do this in a few batches.
-
6Top each clam with 1/2 tsp. of the sauce and then top with one piece of bacon.
-
7Cook for approximately 8 minutes. Serve immediately. They will be gone in no time! ;-)
