Much too salty for most tastes if you're using saltine crackers. I would cut the salt in half. Also, the reserved liquid should be added to other liquid ingredients.

This is how my Mother and Aunt's make Oyster casserole which is absolutely one of my favorites on the Holiday table! The only difference is they use Cayenne pepper and omit the Worcestershire. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

If you like oysters, you will like this. (There's really no "disguising" oysters, so if you don't like them, you won't like this.) I added a little minced garlic, otherwise stuck to the recipe. This comes together quickly and would make a nice addition to a holiday meal. Thanx!

Hello, I doubled the recipe.. you have to use Ritz cracker and Breadcrumbs also... all the recipes are missing something..I sautéed equal amount of celery and onion, to total a 1/2 cup after cooked.. I want oysters, so I used 4x what they called for. I also used a 1/4 cup of Mayonnaise, and all reserved oyster liquid in the dry ingredients. Also several shots of Tabasco sauce.. and a table spoon of lime juice helps...
