Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Clams
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the clams under cold water and steam them in a large pot until they open, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any that remain closed. Remove the clams from their shells and chop the clam meat finely. Reserve half of the shells for stuffing.

Cook the Bacon
In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet, chop finely, and set aside. Reserve a tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.

Prepare the Filling
In the same skillet, add chopped red bell pepper and minced garlic to the reserved bacon grease. Sauté until the pepper is soft, about 3-4 minutes. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped clams, cooked bacon, sautéed peppers, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, melted butter, lemon juice, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Stuff the Clams
Fill each reserved clam shell with the filling mixture, packing it down slightly. Place the stuffed clams on a baking sheet.

Bake the Clams
Bake the stuffed clams in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
