Clams Casino

First you have to make a really good casino butter!  You can make a good size amount, roll it up in wax paper and freeze so you always have on hand.

1 lb. margarine
1/4 cup diced red pepper
1/4 cup diced green pepper
1/2 tsp. chopped garlic

Soften margarine and mix rest of ingredients.

12 little neck clams on the half shell, tendons cut from bottom shell
Casino butter
4 slices bacon, cut in 1/3rds
Italian bread crumbs
provolone cheese(optional)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Place 1 tsp. Casino butter under each clam.  Top with bread crumbs then bacon.  Bake clams for about 5-10 minutes or until bacon is done.  If desired, top with cheese and bake until cheese melts.
