Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
  • 2 TBS sour cream
  • 2 TBS mayonnaise
  • 6.5 oz minced clams drained (reserve liquid)
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 TBS dried minced onion
  • 2-3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients. Before diving into the mixing bowl, make sure you have all your ingredients ready to go.
  • Step 2: Soften the Cream Cheese. Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature. You can soften it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds if needed.
  • Step 3: Mix the Base Ingredients. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Blend until smooth.
  • Step 4: Add the Clams and Seasonings. Add the drained minced clams, garlic powder, dried minced onion, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir gently.
  • Step 5: Adjust the Consistency. If the dip is too thick, mix in a little reserved clam liquid until desired creaminess is achieved.
  • Step 6: Season to Taste. Sprinkle fresh ground black pepper into the mixture to taste and stir well.
  • Step 7: Chill Before Serving. Let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
