Ingredients

Mabel’s Oyster Casserole

1 cup coarsely crumbled saltine cracker crumbs

1 quart shucked fresh oysters (30-40, depending on size)

(2- 6 ounce containers if fresh oysters are unavailable)

1/4 cup chopped scallions

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 TBSP. fresh lemon juice

Salt to taste

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1/2 cup butter

1 cup light cream

1/2 cup milk

Dash of Tabasco sauce (optional)

Paprika for dusting

Preheat over to 400 degrees.

Directions

Preheat over to 400 degrees.

Drain oysters well.

Generously grease a shallow 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.

Sprinkle half of the cracker crumbs over the bottom.

Lay half of the oysters on top of the crumbs,

then sprinkle with half of the onions, parsley, lemon juice, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce.

Dot generously with butter and pour on half of the cream and milk. Repeat layers but save the remaining crumbs for the top.

Add a dash of Tabasco if desired before covering with the crumbs. Dust the top with paprika, using enough to make it really red.

Bake for 35 minutes. Serve hot.

Makes 6 servings.

I love oysters. But hardly eat them. It's funny I was thinking the other day that I need to get some. This might do the trick.
Thank you.

I don't know much about oysters except my mother says they make you feel all funny. However, I do have an Aunt Mabel in England. She loves pies - do you make any pies?

I've made a few pies. I tried thepiggs Rubarb crumble and also their rhubarb muffin...both I might add were great

Ah Rhubarb... a favorite fruit of mine, though I think you have to be careful with the leaves? My mother still makes a wicked rhubarb crumble, I must quiz her for the recipe. Is Piggs 'barb crumble a variation - I've never heard of it?

It's a very simple rhubarb crumble. Put it in the search engine at the site and it ( their recipe will) pop up. I grow rhubarb here in NW NJ...the leaves are toxic but the root is great. My husband dislikes rhubarb anything. So you have an Aunt Mabel...My grandmother was a Mabel, My Mother-in law was a Mabel, and I have a sister-in-law named Mabel. Must have once upon a time been a quite popular name....Like Jennifer ;>)

This is a dynamite recipe and is classic New Orleans. One suggestion. Try Louisiana (or Crystal-brand) Hot Sauce in place of the Tabasco. Tabasco inserts a flavor that sometimes masks the goodness of the other ingredients. Anythng with cream and butter has got to be good.
