This dip has been made by my family for many years. Simple and simple to prepare, but always a hit with the crowd. For a gathering, I typically need to double the recipe.

This is a classic, yummy clam dip. When I make it I double the clams and add 1 – 1 1/2 T of mayonnaise per 8 oz block of cream cheese. I use Hellmann’s. It gives the dip a little deeper flavor, you don’t taste the mayo (if you do you used too much) but you taste more than just the cream cheese. A pinch of cayenne pepper is nice also. Great dip with potato or tortilla chips!
I made this, I chopped up and added red peppers in a scurry of more company. I walked back to the kitchen grabbed something returned to the gathering. I’m telling you wasn’t more than 10 minutes my guests were devouring and complimenting how delicious!
Easy
Lost my go to recipe when our home burned down so I decided to try this recipe since it had a high rating. Made it exactly as recipe stated. Nobody liked it. Tasted like pure cream cheese with celery salt and not in a good way.
So I got home and saw a can of clams open in the fridge and knew right away what had happened. My daughter had thought it was tuna and opened it. So I had to find something to use it in. Found this quick and easy one and tried it. Kept to the recipe, except I only used half the cream cheese.
The hubby has always loved clam dip, but they don’t seem to make it anymore, I haven’t seen it in the grocery stores in years now. So when I saw this recipe, I thought I’d give it a try. He LOVED it, says it was the best clam dip he’s ever had. To my surprise, I never liked clam dip, yet I love this as well! A really good, REALLY fast recipe, thanks so much for sharing! 😀
easy perfect no bake dip. sometimes I add minced sweet onions and or scallions. also a squirt of lemon juice is great too.
Quick, easy and flavorful with only four ingredient. This should be refrigerated an hour or two so the flavors can blend.
