Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

12 large oysters
6 slices bacon
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
5 drops Tabasco sauce
If your oysters are have no oyster shell, just place each oyster meat on the baking dish. Shuck the oysters, discarding any liquid. Wash and dry half of the oyster shells. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium skillet fry bacon until partially cooked. Add onion, celery, and green pepper and cook until tender. Add lemon juice, salt, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco.
Arrange oysters either in or out of their shells and place on a baking sheet. Divide bacon mixture evenly over oysters.
Bake in a 375 degrees F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges of oysters begin to curl and topping is brown. Serve immediately.

How do you get a bacon mixture with 6 slices of bacon and why discard all that glorious oyster liqueur?
The bacon is mixed with other ingredients to make the topping - makes enough for all 12 oysters. And feel free to save the oyster liquor for another use, it's just not needed in this recipe.

This is a fabulous recipe. My daughter gave it to me years ago and we have it occasionally - always on New Years Eve. It is so much better than the other ones where you mix and put a spoonful on top of oyster. This way is more flavorful and you have lots of juice to sop up with French bread.

Amazing recipe, couldn't even wait for them to cool down before I ate them! I used smoked bacon which I cooked to a crisp, and missed off Tabasco as too spicy for me. But delicious :) Wish I'd made more!
