This is an old Albers family favorite for Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years.  It has been recently modified to use the prepared pie crust as this is just as good as home made and much less work.

Oyster  Pork Pie

2 dz. oysters, drained ( save the liquid from the oysters) 16 oz. lean boneless pork chops, cut into 1 in. pieces 
2 medium onions,chopped   1 cup chopped green onions
1 cup chopped celery  3 tablespoons flour
1 cup chopped bell pepper  1 cup chopped parsley
6 tablespoons margarine  1 tablespoon Worcestershire
dash hot sauce  salt, pepper to taste
1 box ready prepared pie crust  

Saute’ vegetables and pieces of pork in 3 tablespoons of margarine until soft, over low  heat with the pan covered; this takes about 15 min.  Lift the cover and stir occasionally, adding a tablespoon or so of oyster liquor so that the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan.  Add 3 more tablespoons of margarine and the 3 tablespoons of flour to the pan and cook over low heat for 5 min.  Add the oysters, reserved liquid, Worcestershire, hot sauce and cook for 5 min over low heat. Taste the mixture and add salt and pepper to taste.  Let the mixture cool for 10 min.  Meanwhile, line a pie plate with an unbaked crust and preheat the oven according to the package directions for a two crust pie. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and place the remaining crust over the top.  Make 5 or 6 knife slices in the top crust ( in a sort of sunburst pattern) to allow the steam to escape during cooking.  Place the pie in the oven on a middle shelf and cook until the crust is golden brown. ( About 30 min.)
