Bobi's Scalloped Oysters

Redneck Epicurean's Note:

Bobi Jane is a great friend and "adopted sister" of Pop's. She is a fellow foodie and enjoys all things culinary except dishes, as in...cleaning them. She brought this to church for one of our "Eatin' Meetin's". I held her hostage until she gave me the recipe. She laughed and told me it was just a oysters, crackers, milk, and butter. I 'bout fell over.

I make this dish every Thanksgiving and Christmas and everyone looks forward to it. As a girl, my Grandmother would make oyster stew/soup, but as a Mom, I could never get my own kids to try it to carry on the tradition. This oyster recipe they will eat - so tradition, modified, I guess. Thank-you for putting this on Zaar.

Fabulous!!! I used evaporated milk instead of regular milk. I used to fry the oysters and dipped in milk and cracker crumbs and fried in butter. I loved this recipe! This quick, easy and you are not watch the oysters cook but enjoying the day! I can't say enough about this recipe. This will be on the top of my list!!!

This is the exact way my Grandma taught me to make these. There are only a very few of us that like oysters but we had better have these every Thanksgiving or else it's just not the same.
