- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 6.5 oz can of minced clams (with liquid)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes before you begin.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese.
Open the can of minced clams and pour the entire contents (including liquid) into the bowl with the cream cheese.
Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, ground black pepper, and hot sauce (if using).
Using a hand mixer or a sturdy whisk, blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Make sure the clams are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if needed (more salt, lemon juice, or hot sauce can enhance the flavor to your preference).
Transfer the clam dip to a serving bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the chilled clam dip with your choice of crackers, sliced vegetables, or chips. Enjoy!
