My husband and I love oysters. This recipe was so delicious and I got to use my ramekins (wedding gift) that I hardly ever use. I used about 4 dashes of hot sauce which made it hot enough for use and plenty of salt and pepper. Reminded me of my great grandmother's oyster dressing. Thanks Nurse Di. -
An awsome recipe and a great southern item. Instead of using ramekins I have saved the shells from some cherry stone clams (cleaned them up real good, soaked in bleach water and ran thru the dish washer 2-3 times) to put the oysters mixture into. The presentation looks great. -
My husband and I love oysters. It is one of the few things we actually agree on (ha-ha). This dish was so incredible. I cooked it in a casserole dish but may have to invest in some ramekins. I just think they are cute!! The worcestershire and green onions were the most predominant flavors and made this so yummy. I used 1/4 teaspoon of hot sauce which added to the spiciness but did not overwhelm the dish with too much heat. The cracker crumb topping was a nice touch. Thanks for another outstanding recipe. -
one word . . . AWESOME!! I really don't like it when somebody changes a recipe - I added to it rather than change it, does that count? We had several pieces of cooked bacon in the fridge that needed to get used so I diced them up and sauteed with the veg, and I used Chipotle tabasco as that was the only hot sauce we had. We loved this and will make it again and again. Thanks 'ratherbeswimmin'" this is a keeper!

Absolutely phenomenal taste!! I have eaten this almost all of my remembered life but my Dad cooked the recipe and when he passed, the recipe was gone. Mom and I made it but it wasn't the same. This recipe is the same!! I can't thank you enough for posting this!
