Preparation
- Step 1
Cut each bacon strip into 4 pieces and lightly fry in a pan over medium heat. (You don't want the bacon to become crispy since it is going to go into the broiler later.) Remove and set aside half-cooked bacon.
- Step 2
Chop the peppers and the onion into a medium dice. Chop the jalapeño finely, discarding seeds. It's a good idea to wash your hands afterward.
- Step 3
Add the peppers, the onion and the jalapeño to the softened butter.
- Step 4
Add the Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice to taste.
- Step 5
Add a generous pinch of the vegetable mixture to each of the opened clams on its half shell. Place a piece of the cooked bacon on top of the mixture on each clam.
- Step 6
Place the clams under the broiler and let cook until the vegetables begin to wilt and the bacon is almost crisp, around 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

Clams Casino is a universal descriptor, at least in these parts
Delicious. I did add a roasted pimento under the bacon.
I added a roasted pimento piece under the bacon.
When recording a recipe it is very useful (not done here) to include a fully descriptive subtitle. In this case something like "Clams broiled in the shell with vegetable butter and bacon." This saves having to read through a recipe to discern what the end product will be, and aids in choosing a new or rarely used recipe when creating a meal.
