Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped green bell pepper and mushrooms to the pan.
  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.

  5. Gradually add the crushed tomatoes with their liquid, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  6. Pour in the milk and continue to stir until the mixture begins to thicken.
  7. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
  8. Stir gently until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  9. Fold in the minced clams along with their liquid.
  10. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the mixture is heated through and bubbly.
  11. Serve immediately over toasted bread or with crusty rolls.
