Clam Dip – looking for a tasty dip for chips, that is different than the same old French Onion dip?
This a family favorite my father made it, but my sister perfected it. We have it at all family functions and it’s the first to go!!
2 8oz packages cream cheese
2 small cans of clams (Snow’s is best)
2 tsp fresh lemon juice (if using reconstituted 2 1/2 tsp)
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp MSG (Accent)
8 oz sour cream
Beat cream cheese together with juice from 1 can of the clams, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and MSG until smooth.
When mixed well, STIR in sour cream and drained clams. DO NOT use a mixer at this point as the dip will turn out runny.
You may want to test dip. If more clam taste is desired stir in more clam juice to taste.
Serve with potato chips.
