Dot's Scallop Bubbly Bake

The Doyles have been dear friends of our family since the '70s, when we moved to Prince Edward Island. We enjoyed many a delicious meal and holiday with them. Dot's cooking and Clarence's barbecuing skills always had us going back for more. Lovely memories. Here is a recipe that Dot had shared with my Mom. It is so good! I hope you enjoy it, too.


Scallop Bubbly Bake


1 pound scallops
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 and 1/2 cups chopped celery
1/2 cup green chopped pepper
1 cup mushrooms


Sauce:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour (all purpose)
1 teaspoon salt (I use 1/4 teaspoon)
2 cups milk (any type you normally use)


Topping:
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated cheese




Preheat oven to 350 F.


Saute onions, celery, green peppers and mushrooms in a frying pan, in 2 tablespoons of butter, for about 10 minutes.


Meanwhile, prepare the sauce in a saucepan. Melt 1/4 cup butter. Add 1/4 cup flour and stir for a minute or two. Add the salt and milk and stir until thickened.


Pour the sauteed onion mixture into the sauce and add the scallops. Spoon this mixture into a greased 1 and 1/2 quart oven-proof dish. Top with melted butter, breadcrumbs and grated cheese.


Bake for 45 minutes in a 350 F oven .. until bubbly. :)


Serves 4.


Yum Yum !!
