Creamy Lobster Casserole
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
  • 1 small sweet onion, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 1/2 large green bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 large red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 2 pounds cooked and coarsely chopped lobster meat
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces, or more to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Melt a small amount of butter, specifically one teaspoon, in a large cooking vessel over medium heat. Introduce the onion, celery, green pepper, and red pepper into the pan; cook and stir until the onion has become tender and its translucency is evident, approximately 5 minutes.
3
In a separate cooking vessel, melt another quarter cup of butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for one minute, allowing it to form a smooth paste. Gradually add milk; continue cooking until the sauce reaches the desired consistency, roughly 5 minutes.
4
Merge the cooked vegetables and lobster into the sauce; season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish; sprinkle with bread crumbs, dot with butter pieces, and sprinkle with paprika for added flavor.
5
Bake the prepared mixture in the preheated oven until it is bubbly and cooked through, approximately 30 minutes.
