I agree that presentation is probably at least half the reason I posted this here, but it honestly also looks a little too dense to be enjoyable. I can’t imagine any of the ingredients being able to properly develop their flavor in this setting, especially not when smothered in this much cheese. If the oysters are smoked, as they usually are when they come from a can, they’ll have a very strong earthy flavor that would need something to lighten it up, but adding ground beef would likely just weight it down. Can’t even imagine being able to taste the crab at all in that scenario.
It basically looks like a casserole on a crust, and not a good one at that.
