Cajun Oyster Pot Pie
Ingredients
  • 3 thick slices bacon
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 18 shucked oysters, drained with liquid reserved
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 2 (9 inch) unbaked 9 inch pie crusts
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Next, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat until it is uniformly browned. Remove the bacon from the skillet, reserving 1 tablespoon of its rich, savory grease in the process. Crumble the cooked bacon into smaller pieces and set it aside for later use.
2
In a separate saucepan, heat the reserved bacon grease and vegetable oil over medium heat. Gradually add in the flour, stirring constantly until it reaches a light brown hue. Slowly pour in 1 cup of the reserved oyster liquid, whisking continuously until a thick, velvety gravy has formed.
3
Add the Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, and oysters to the gravy mixture. Stir until these flavors are fully incorporated. Pour this savory concoction into a 9-inch pie shell, followed by the top crust.
4
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the crust has turned a golden brown color.
