This is a great favourite all year round, but it's especially popular at holiday time.

1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 onions, chopped
8 to 10 cups torn­up bread (as for stuffing)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 can mushrooms, drained
2 cups raw bar clams

Melt the butter or margarine in a large frying pan, add the onions and cook till soft. Add the bread, salt, pepper, mushrooms and clams. Mix well until clams are cooked (about 10 minutes).

Fill empty bar clam shells with the mixture, cover with foil and freeze.

To serve, heat frozen in 350 F oven till soft to the touch, remove the foil and brown a little. Green pepper may be added.
