Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ pound bacon
1 double crust ready-to-use pie crust
1 small onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¾ cup heavy cream
24 oysters, shucked with liquid reserved
½ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®), or more to taste

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 10 minutes; remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving the drippings. Crumble the bacon.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie pan with 1 of the pie crusts.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved bacon drippings in a skillet over medium-low heat; add the onion, celery, garlic, and green pepper to the hot drippings, cover, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the cooked vegetables to a bowl. Increase heat to medium and stir 3 tablespoons of the reserved drippings and the flour together in the skillet to make a thick paste. Slowly pour the cream and 1 cup of the reserved liquid from the oysters into the paste; cook and stir until a thick gravy forms. Fold the bacon, oysters, and vegetables into the mixture; season with seafood seasoning. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Cover with the remaining crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this oyster pie without the oysters. It was still delicious! The creamy sauce and flaky crust were perfect.

This oyster pie was a bit too rich for my taste. The creamy sauce and the bacon were a bit overwhelming. I think I would have preferred a simpler recipe.

I'm not a big fan of oysters, but I thought I would give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The oyster flavor was subtle, and the pie was very creamy and delicious.

This oyster pie was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think I would have liked it more if the oysters had been cooked a bit longer.

I was a little disappointed with this oyster pie. The crust was a bit too thick and the filling was a bit too bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I love the addition of bacon to this oyster pie. It adds a nice smoky flavor that complements the oysters perfectly.
