How to Make Oyster Dressing Stuffing Casserole Or Filling For Patti Shells

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef and 1/2 lb chopped ham together in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up chunks with a spoon.
  2. Drain off excess grease.
  3. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 2 stalks celery (chopped). Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 2 green onions (chopped), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste).
  5. Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse 1 cup shucked oysters with 1/4 cup of their liquid until finely chopped but not pureed.
  6. Add the processed oysters to the meat and vegetable mixture. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring to combine.
  7. Gradually add 1 cup breadcrumbs, mixing until the mixture is moist but not soggy. If using 1 cup of cubed French bread, gently smash the cubes with the back of a spoon before adding.
  8. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  9. **For Casserole:** Spoon the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  10. **For Patti Shells:** Spoon the mixture into individual buttered patti shells. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
  11. **For Poultry Stuffing:** Loosely fill the cavity of your poultry. Follow safe food handling guidelines for stuffed poultry, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  12. **To Freeze (Uncooked):** Cool completely before transferring to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
