How to Make Aunt Phyllis Clam Casserole

  1. Saute 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add 2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams (reserve the clam juice!), 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup dry sherry (optional), 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 cup bread crumbs. Stir in the reserved clam juice slowly until the mixture reaches a creamy, oatmeal-like consistency.
  3. Pour the clam mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  4. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  5. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
