Seafood Casserole for Christmas Eve from the Farmhouse image

Getting the kids ready and out the door in time for the traditional Lutheran church's Christmas Eve Children's Worship Service is made MUCH easier with this recipe on hand. Get things ready ahead of time, make a loaf of garlicky French bread, and before the little whipper-snappers have time to realize what's happened, you've eaten a healthy AND festive supper, AND are STILL out-the-door in time for church to hear the story and sing the carols of the Birth of Our Savior! Those lovely ladies at Gooseberry Patch take the credit for coming up with this one.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I had some cooked shrimp and crab in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use them up. It was easy to make and very tasty.

I made a few changes to the recipe and it turned out great! I added some diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the casserole and used a different type of cheese. It was a hit with my family and friends!

This casserole was just okay. The sauce was a little bland and the seafood was a bit overcooked. I wouldn't make this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the casserole turned out terrible. The sauce was watery and the seafood was rubbery. I would not recommend this recipe.
