How to Make Mom's Oyster Casserole
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Drain oysters thoroughly, reserving approximately 1/4 cup of the liquid.
- Generously grease a shallow 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
- Sprinkle 1 cup crushed crackers evenly over the bottom of the dish.
- Arrange half of the oysters (about 1 pint) over the cracker layer.
- Sprinkle with half of the following: 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
- Dot with 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour half of the mixture of 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup milk, along with the reserved oyster liquid.
- Repeat layers with remaining crackers, oysters, onion, parsley, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, butter, cream, and milk.
- Add a dash of Tabasco sauce to taste (optional) before topping with remaining cracker crumbs (about 1 cup).
- Sprinkle remaining cracker crumbs evenly over the top.
- Generously dust the top with paprika until it is a vibrant red color.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving hot.
