Seafood, Potato and Cheese Casserole image

I made this one up, but not saying I'm the first to do that. It's sort of 3 dishes in one. My friends say this is one my best creations. It has lots of butter in it, but I have tried to substitute and it doesn't taste as good.

I'm not sure why this casserole is called a 'casserole'. It's more like a pie.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my casserole turned out dry. Maybe I didn't use enough milk.

This casserole was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese.
