Dad's Rhode Island Stuffies image

I will forever remember my Dad for making these for me when I came home during the summer! I love them with the addition of Portuguese sausage! Quahogs are a hard shelled type of clam. If you can not find them, 1 can of minced clams and 1 bottle of clam juice will work as a substitute. Chourice can be found in Portuguese...

Number Of Ingredients 11

15 quahogs , shucked and then chopped
2 loaves italian bread (day old bread)
2 Tbsp oil

I'm not a big fan of seafood, so I don't think I'll like these stuffies.

These stuffies were a little too spicy for my taste, but I still liked them. I would probably use less cayenne pepper next time.
