Directions:
In a 4 quart stock pan cook bacon till crispy, remove leaving grease in pan. Open the 6 cans of clams, and drain juice into pot (do not add clams yet). Add 6 bottles of clam juice, add minced peppers and onions, add cubed potatoes. Simmer over low heat stirring occasionally until vegetables and potatoes are soft. Add chopped clams. Drain whole clams and discard juice (this juice tends to be to salty). Add minced bacon. Simmer for 15 minutes stir occasionally. Stir In ½ and ½. Stir In milk (I usually try to bring pot to ¾ full) Bring to a Simmer for about a ½ hour or so it will start to thicken but you will want to add roux. (SEE BEEF & GRAVY RECIPE)

ENJOY!!! Don’t be afraid to make a good size pot of chowder, it freezes really well, and tastes just as good reheated.
