Ingredients

- 1 clove garlic minced (or 1 tsp garlic paste)

- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce we used Cholula

Instructions
- Open the cans of minced clam. Use the detached lid to press down on the clam meat and pour out the excess liquid. Drain the clams very well before adding them to the dip.
- Set out a medium-sized mixing bowl. Place the cream cheese in the bowl and smash vigorously with a fork to make sure it is extremely soft with no clumps.
- Then add in the sour cream, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Mix until smooth.
- Finally mix in the drained clams and fresh dill. Taste, then salt and pepper as needed. Add additional hot sauce if desired!
