LOBSTER CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2 quart baking dish.
- Melt butter in a medium sized pot over low heat. Saute the lobster meat in butter until it starts to change color. Do not cook too long or too fast, or the lobster meat will toughen. With a slotted spoon, remove lobster meat from pan and set aside.
- To the remaining butter in the pot, stir in the flour, dry mustard, salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in cream and milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Return lobster meat to the pot. Tear the bread into small pieces and stir into the mixture. Pour into prepared baking dish.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly and delicately browned.

THE BEST LOBSTER CASSEROLE
I've had people say this is the best lobster dish they ever ate. I played around with this recipe because this is similar to the way my Mom used to make it, but she didn't go by recipes. Living near New Bedford and having the luxury of all the fresh seafood markets available, I usually buy my lobsters live and cook them at home and pick them myself. The biggest one I ever cooked was 10 1/2 pounds. This recipe calls for the tomalley, the green stuff in the head, not absolutely neccesary but it adds a nice flavor to the topping. If you have access to a fish market that has fresh lobsters and ask the fish monger to save you some of the tomalley it will make a difference. I didn't include a measurement for the tomalley because it depends on what you get from the lobster. If you have the fish market cook the lobster, tell them not to over cook it because the meat will cook again. My last 8 1/2 pounder I only boiled for 30 minutes, no more. You will need a batch of Hailey's Favorite Cheese Sauce, recipe #364959 for this. I usually do individual casserole dishes for everyone but you could easily do this in a bigger dish, your choice. The cook or prep time does not include cooking the lobster or picking the lobster or the cheese sauce time. I've also used this recipe with scallops.

NEW BRUNSWICK LOBSTER CASSEROLE
Our lobster season starts May 1 in the Chaleur Bay region of New Brunswick, Canada. I know it seems a shame to put lobster meat in a casserole, but this is so delicious, and because we often buy 10-20 lbs of fresh lobster right from the fishermen, we often have some left over after we have our first feed. I often use it for a special luncheon with a salad or as an entree with a buffet dinner. I am always asked for the recipe.

LAZY MAN'S LOBSTER CASSEROLE RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Lightly saute mushrooms, shallots, and garlic in olive oil. Stir in lobster and sherry. Set aside to be able to use the same pan for stuffing preparation. Melt butter and combine crumbled crackers and parsley. Set aside 1/2 of the stuffing mixture. Add lobster mixture to remaining stuffing in pan. Combine well. Slowly stir in cream. Pour into casserole dish and top with the remaining stuffing. Bake 10-15 minutes in a preheated 325°F oven or until topping is lightly browned. Serving suggestion: As an added bonus, while the casserole is baking, saute extra lobster claw meat to use with lemon as a garnish on top of the cooked casserole. And, for a very casual presentation, bake the recipe in a non-stick oven-proof frying pan, using that as your serving dish at the table. Since this recipe is a very rich version of Lazy Mans Lobster, it is best served with a light side dish of a green garden salad or a summer fruit salad.
Tips:
- Use fresh lobster meat: Fresh lobster meat will give your casserole the best flavor. If you can't find fresh lobster meat, frozen lobster meat is a good substitute.
- Cook the lobster meat properly: Lobster meat should be cooked until it is opaque and tender. Overcooked lobster meat will be tough and chewy.
- Use a variety of vegetables: A variety of vegetables will add flavor and texture to your casserole. Some good choices include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, and onions.
- Use a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce will help to bind the ingredients together and make the casserole more flavorful. You can use a simple white sauce or a more complex sauce, such as a cheese sauce or a lobster sauce.
- Top the casserole with bread crumbs or crushed crackers: This will give the casserole a crispy topping.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and hot: The casserole should be baked until it is bubbly and hot all the way through. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Lobster casserole is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you are a seafood lover or just looking for a new and exciting dish to try, lobster casserole is sure to please.
