Recipe - Mos Clam Chowder

One half pound Bacon; minced
1 lg Onion
1/8 cup Flour
3 cn Minced clams; (6 oz. each)
6 cup Diced potatoes
3 cup Milk; (whole milk or even
part half & half is good)
(up to 4)
Salt; pepper, paprika and
butter

OPTIONAL
1 sl Ham; minced , (add when bacon
is almost crisp)

Well, I guess Mo's is sort of famous, in Oregon, anyway. There are several
of their restaurants at various places on the Oregon coast. I was recently
chatting with someone else on this list who dismissed Mo's as nothing more
than a tourist trap. I suppose it is, but then the same could be said of
the entire Oregon coast! I'm a transplanted Southern Californian (been here
18 years), and I'll tell you, the Oregon coast is not known for its great
restaurants. There are some to be found, but you really have to search them
out. Mo's is one of the few places that has more than one location (besides
McDonald's and Taco Bell!), so they must be doing something right. You can
even buy their chowder base in the markets here.

Anyway, here is what is supposed to be their recipe:

Saute bacon until brown; drain off fat. Add onion and saute until limp.
Stir in flour. Add potatoes. Cook about 15 minutes until potatoes are soft.
Add clams, milk and seasonings. Serve hot with dollop of butter. Sprinkle
with paprika.

About 6 servings

This is really good as you know. I like to add dehydrated parsley and lemon
pepper seasoning, too.
