Cajun Oyster Pie
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain the bacon, keeping 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease. Crumble the bacon and set it aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the bacon grease and vegetable oil over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook until the flour turns light brown. Slowly whisk in the milk and 1 cup of the reserved oyster liquid. Stir until a thick gravy forms.

  3. 3

    Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, and oysters. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pie shell and cover with the top crust.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the crust is golden.
