Holiday Cooking & Baking Recipes: Scalloped Oysters Recipe | Thanksgiving Side Dish Ideas

[@PaulaDeen]

Do y'all have oysters during the holidays? I personally love 'em for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

[@patriotadam4091]

Always. I typically do Oyster Rockefeller as an appetizer for Thanksgiving. I also do an old fashioned Americana Classic that hasnt been used in a while - mock Turtle soup as my soup

[@dalerobertson9618]

You need to add another layer of oysters and use heavy cream in place of the evaporated milk, with thinner pads of butter, after all its scalloped oysters not scalloped crackers

[@Cherryshake]

My grandmother made this every Thanksgiving and Christmas lunch. She used heavy cream instead of evaporated milk and I think we doubled the oysters. She’s been gone for 12 years and I make this now. I think it’s better with a little squeeze of lemon over the top. The smell of this cooking makes me think of her kitchen at the holidays.❤

This is my memaw‘s recipe, and she made it for Christmas and Thanksgiving forever, and only a small amount of us liked oysters, but it made more for us that did I was actually getting ready to make this for Thanksgiving for a friend of mine but honestly, I don’t have the money to spend on the oysters. We do it without the milk though. We just pour oyster juice over the top. Sometimes I will add a little bit of turkey gravy not turkey gravy, turkey juice. I might also tweak it with a lot more oysters.

I just love you so much miss Paula ❤ you are the sweetest person. You remind me of someone I was close to.

[@maryrinks8383]

My family would put oyster in our dressing. We would look forward to seeing it every year

[@mamaksstorytime]

I never really understood oysters in dressing, but I’m here for this one!

I make this in a deeper casserole dish. I also have two layers of oysters and use cream instead ev. Milk. My favorite dish for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

[@judithclayton6736]

This brought back memories of my Momma, she was born and raised in Maryland. We had this for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. I have never seen this prepared in this way before I happened upon your show on KZbin. I live in Colorado now, this is a big treat for the Holidays. I even have the casserole that she always used. Love your show, keep up your good works and Happy Holidays to you and yours. JHC Colorado

I love Oyster Stew! In the 1960’s Campbell’s Soup Co used to make a frozen Oyster Soup or Stew. It came in a can like frozen Orange juice. Do you remember that Paula!? You mixed it with water or milk and it was wonderful. At least I thought so, I was a kid of course. My taste has matured by now. Love your video!❤️

[@cynthiaharrell2144]

I do!

[@jakeakawayne6437]

This is very similar to my grandmother's recipe which she taught me. The only difference is she used Ritz crackers. So glad to see this here because it gave me more detail about moisture and cooking time. Also neat to see others having this on their table. We're from North Eastern Cental PA. Thank you for this recipe.

[@lindaleathers4696]

I always added four eggs to this! That’s the way my grandmother made it! But I will try this! Never to old to learn!

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

Four eggs sounds like a good addition to this recipe. Bet your version is yummy!

[@lindasiegrist1535]

Did not mean the thumb down. I have never used eggs in this recipe, but going to try it this year. Does this give lighter texture?

[@lindasiegrist1535]

We always had oyster stew Christmas Eve and grandma always had scalloped oysters for Christmas dinner. Agree with Paula, would prefer more oysters.

[@pelayoasturias6650]

I'm trying this!Thanks!

[@dvb1984]

Yes, oyster stew on Christmas Eve, and oyster dressing on Christmas Day. My Dad loved oysters so Mom made sure they were on the menu. He also liked smoked oysters on saltine crackers, with a dash of hot sauce.

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

That does look tasty. I usually make oyster stew on Christmas eve too.

[@dylanclark4976]

Good morning Mrs Paula Deen happy Thanksgiving and merry Christmas too

[@janetclassen1144]

My Aunt used to make this & she layered crackers & oysters & crackers & oysters & crackers & oysters with dotted butter on each layer. Then gently pour milk over all to soggy up the crackers, dot with butter & bake

[@sheliamiller3185]

Good Morning Ms.Paula, thank you for sharing this recipe with us. Happy Thanksgiving to y'all.

[@maryjemison1101]

My Favorite Dish Oysters

[@ParkersCrossing]

Now this is a recipe I’m not sure I’d tried on my own…but, after seeing you put it together and giving it a thumbs-up taste test…I believe I’ll be trying this!!! Looks and sounds like a comfort food that would be a great way to kick off the holidays!! 🦃🎄~ I especially enjoyed the coziness of the kitchen this morning with the fireplace in the background….

[@jacalynsqueglia7352]

[@emiliagarcia6868]

Good morning Paula 🌞 I'm going to have to try this recipe, love oysters ❤️🙂

[@zzzzipy12]

I’m not a big fan of oysters, but it’s cool to have a family tradition to pass on. BTW have a manual can opener on had at all times! No power, no opener!

[@lablea]

We often called it Oyster Pie and had it at Christmas and Thanksgiving🥰

[@sammyhakimvlogs5608]

This Scalloped Oysters recipe looks so delicious Paula.

[@colleenpiechowski8511]

We had oyster stew on Christmas Eve. I think the tradition came from England.

[@sallykerr2785]

I remember my mom making scalloped oysters and I loved it. Will have to try this recipe. However, I don’t know who will help me eat it.

[@audreywilliams2228]

Hi Paula,It has gotten chilly in Ga as you know,and this is what I’am having this weekend..Thanks!❤

[@Nancedoc]

Thank you for sharing Paula.... Interesting ❤️

[@misswinnie4.8]

❤

[@crawleyr4919]

Interesting!! Bravo, Teri!

[@lablea]

We brown the crackers in butter in a frying and then layer them with oysters. We lightly salt & heavily pepper each layer. We use whole milk and Worcestershire sauce to poor over the top. Yummy 😋

[@sherryrethwisch9589]

Now that sounds delicious!

[@sharonkellum9099]

It's 45° here in West Allis, Wisconsin. Love watching your show . I'm originally from Fayetteville, North Carolina

[@carmelscott1706]

Yummy!!! Living in Ontario, Canada, like I do, I have never heard of scalloped oysters. Definitely going to try this one. In Nova Scotia, lobster dishes are a big thing on Christmas Eve.

[@lorrainechapman6940]

How lovely you look today

[@pamelaamerson8492]

Yummy 😋 Looks amazing..

[@wendyzanders7284]

Good morning

[@terryeggleston8824]

Miss Paula my mother made this scolloped oaysters every Thanksgiving

[@conniehanold3294]

I use 1 sleeve of Ritz crackers, (they're already buttered, )1 pint select oysters, light cream, Worcestershire sauce, oyster liquid and melted butter. Been making this for 45 years for Christmas. It disappears so quickly that I have to make two.

[@jerrykeenan1848]

Thanks

[@heidid5275]

Good morning, y'all. It's been so warm and humid here in Massachusetts for the last week that I wish the a/c's were still in!!! It just broke last night and the weather is more seasonal now. The oyster stew is an interesting recipe. Lots of crackers. Not really a fan of oysters but it has been years since the last time I tried them, and that was in turkey stuffing! Maybe it's time to give them another shot!!

[@aprilbean5561]

put more pepper on TOP!

[@drewjenn9819]

Anyone looking for this done properly, please visit Chef John.

[@NinetyOneAdventures]

Yum!

[@LCmonman]

How do we submit a recipe request to you, Miss Paula??

[@aprilbean5561]

we use milk!

[@edithritchison9963]

That looks so good and I plan on making it for Turkey Day. I will make one change, though: double the oysters! (●'◡'●)

[@patriotadam4091]

What should I do to celebrate Zeldins victory

[@jonathanwilson2109]

I've never tried oysters

[@lindaclaxton9353]

this is a hot mess look up the recipe on youtube it so much better this does not have enough oysters and it has way to much butter the butter is suppose to be melt and pour over saltines and make three layers

[@tomsaaristo6294]

I'm sure Miss Paula knows that for every letter she receives there are another thousand folks who would write the same thing

[@lauriemathews7974]

The only way I like oysters is when they're cut up, breaded and baked or fried.

[@Nancy-tc8rf]

Paula, oystetr? Really? Most of the American families will be lucky to buy a turkey!

[@jbetz6938]

She/we live in coastal Georgia. Oysters are not expensive here.

[@downingkris7921]

I probably would have added some cheese to that recipe, Paula...lol..

[@grimsby1600]

what a mess

[@sherryrethwisch9589]

Sorry Terry, what a fiasco was made of this recipe. Way too few oysters relative to the crackers used and all liquids should be combined before pouring over the dish, not added as an afterthought! Bottomline I would make this but certainly NOT following her hap-hazard method!
