Ab fab! I had Reduced Fat Club (Keebler crackers in the house and used them. I also poured all of the oyster liquor into the casserole. Truly terrific!

This is the exact same recipe that my Aunt made! It was always a part of our Thanksgiving dinner. Our beloved Aunt(who was like our second Mom passed away in 2002. I thought who is going to make the scalloped oysters now!? Well I took it upon myself to try and make them. I found her recipe and have been making them ever since. Now I have to make them for our family Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners every year. We can't eat them without thinking of her. This recipe is soooo good! I do use canned oysters at times because the fresh oysters can be very expensive here in upstate NY. I find the taste is not compromised by using the canned oysters. Great recipe Paula!! You rock as always!!
