2 squirts of Tabasco sauce *
2 Family sized bags of Frito's Dipping Chips
Lots of Carrots, celery and cauliflower cut to dipping length

Preparation

Prepare the day before the Super Bowl:

Place 4 bricks of cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and allow to reach room temperature.
Open 4 cans of minced clams and drain juice from 3 into a container and save.
Add 2 packets of Lipton dry onion soup mix to the bowl.
Add juice from fourth can and all four opened cans of minced clams into mixing bowl.
Add 2 oz of Worcestershire sauce to the bowl.
Mix cream cheese, dry soup mix, Worcestershire sauce and clams with a beater on slow speed.
Add 1 squirt of Tabasco sauce and continue to mix until all ingredients are combined to a thick dip.
Test flavor and consistency of dip with a Frito's dip chip. If chip breaks, add more clam juice.
Place resulting clam dip in a covered container in refrigerator to chill over night.
Place remaining clam juice in covered container in refrigerator to keep chilled.

Morning of the Super Bowl:

Removed chilled clam dip from refrigerator; open bag of Frito's dip chips and test consistency of dip.
If chip breaks, add a small amount of clam juice. Test consistency again until chips no longer break.
Continue testing dip until first bag of chips are gone.

Important: When this first batch is gone (usually hours before the game),
repeat mixing directions above using the remaining ingredients and refrigerate until game time.
Serve in large bowl on a tray, surrounded by dipping chips, and veggies.

Note: My Mother, Edna (1921-2008) would not have approved of finishing the first batch
before game time, thus saving considerable expense.
* More or less can be added, according to personal taste.
