I will definitely be making these again! Very tasty. I used Maine Clams instead of the LIttleneck & I think they worked out perfectly. Thanks Bobby!

Have made these twice for gatherings and have managed to eat only ONE because they disappear so fast! First time I made them, I didn't drain grease from bacon and the clam (my one and only tasted a little greasy. Second time I drained most of the grease before adding rest. Next time I will place a piece of mozzarella on top before grilling for a spin on clams casino. Thanks for a great recipe, Bobby.
