Crayfish (Lobster) Cheese Casserole

Sara 76's Note:

Living on the West Coast, we get a loy of cray during the summer. We eat most of them as we get them, just fresh with some salad, but this is a really yummy way to use up any that have been in the freezer for a while.

Absolute perfection! Brings a whole new meaning to comfort food! Used less green peppers and more lobster than called for. Also made in 4 individual casserole dishes. Very impressive and absolutely outstanding! Will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing your recipe! :)
