Instructions
Instruction for Preparing the Stew | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat; add onion and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, 8 minutes or until tender. |
| 2. | Add mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add flour, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. |
| 3. | Gradually stir in 2 cups milk; cook, stirring often, 5 minutes or until mixture is thickened and bubbly. |
| 4. | Reduce heat to low, and stir in cheddar cheese, cream of potato soup, pimiento, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. |
| 5. | Cook, stirring often, 3 minutes or until cheese melts and mixture is hot. |
| 6. | Add oysters and oyster liquor, and simmer 3 minutes or just until edges of oysters begin to curl. |
| 7. | Serve with saltines or oyster crackers, if desired. |
| 8. | *Note: To make ahead, prepare the stew through adding and melting cheese. Freeze the mixture in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Heat in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Proceed with recipe as directed. |
| 9. | **Choosing the Best: Fresh shucked oysters are found in the seafood department of supermarkets or at seafood markets. We don't recommend substituting canned oysters in this recipe. Fresh oysters come in 12-oz. containers and range in size from standards (the smallest) to counts (the largest). Standards and selects are the most economical and are the best choices for oyster stew. |
