Hope I explain this right...

Every year grandma made oysters for Thanksgiving and Christmas.... I don't eat them LOL so I never payed that much attention to what went in them.

She made them for my uncle and little brother.
Grandma passed away in May :(

So I'm planning Thanksgiving this year I guess. My mom doesn't cook LOL and I know how to make most things grandma did from helping/watching.

Anyways So I was wanting to make them for brother. But I'm not sure how.

Its baked in the oven in a cassarole dish... uses the oysters that come in a can (found in the grocery section that has salmon and tuna),
I know it had saltine crackers crunched up mixed in with everything,
I'm guessing egg to help hold it together, and maybe butter.

Thats all I know/think... Do you make anything that sounds like this?
Thanks

I've never made it, but this recipie is from All Recipes.com.

Is this what you're looking for?

1 cup butter, melted
1/2 (16 ounce) package saltine crackers, crushed
2 (8 ounce) cans oysters
1 1/2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 (14.75 ounce) cans cream-style corn

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Drain the oysters, reserving juice.
In a small mixing bowl combine margarine and crushed saltine crackers. Cut the oysters into small pieces, set aside. In a small mixing bowl combine cream, oyster juice and Worcestershire sauce.
Spread one can of corn onto the bottom of the casserole dish. Layer 1/2 of the oysters over the corn, 1/2 of the cracker mixture. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients. Pour the oyster juice mixture over the top of the entire casserole. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil.
Bake casserole for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 30 minutes.

Sounds pretty good to me! I must admit, oysters scared me for awhile, and now I just love the nasty little things. LoL Good luck finding your recipe!
