I started making this dish about 6-7 years back and every year around this time someone in my family reminds me about my delicious Oyster Stuffing. Thank you for the delicious tradition that became part of my family. Lots of love!
Thema A. The oyster stuffing is best I every tadted. The Best
Perfect! Thank goodness for this recipe. My grandma passed last year and I have no recipe for this family favorite. I watched her make it my whole life but it’s nice to have a recipe to guide me. I’ve never met anyone else who had this type of stuffing. Her parents were from the mid-west and I’m so glad Nancy has this recipe too. If you like oysters than this is a must have for the holidays. My children won’t even walk by it without making a face but I love it. It is a uniquely textured sort of like a bread pudding and tastes like the ocean. I have no idea how this became a Thanksgiving tradition but it sort of a special treat for those in our family who like it.
I just made this with roasted crimini mushrooms in place of the oysters. So delicious!
Plan on trying it this year – can it be made ahead? How long will it last in the fridge?
Grew up with scalloped oysters on Thanksgiving, but no cheese or paprika and used milk. Can this be made 24 hrs ahead and placed in refrig? Mother always said it needed to be “soggy” thru out, ( in other words no crunch in crackers before baking. Any ideas?
My momma has made a recipe similar as long as I can remember, but no cheese and add 1 tsp worchestershire… and a little more butter 🙂
This is my ex-mother-inlaws recipe except for the cheese and paprika! I make this every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas! I was so excited when I watched this episode! I have never seen a recipe for it anywhere! Farmhouse Rules Nancy Fuller Love you!
our family always does this with scallops instead of oyster, and we use the little round soup crackers as the cracker, no cheese, amazing how a couple item put together are soooo good.
