"This recipe is one I had many times at The Hilltop Steakhouse, in Saugus, Mass, known far and wide for its great food and dining experience. They closed in 2013. This recipe is sacred to me now, and I thought I would share it here! If you want a fabulous lobster dish, try this. You won't be disappointed! You can also substitute any seafood or haddock or swordfish for the lobster with great results! PLEASE NOTE: Serving Size and Cooking Time is only a guess, as it depends how big your appetites are, and I can't remember the exact cooking time for the stuff cooked on the stove during preparation time."

I The Hilltop recipe was just butter and crumbs. I was just looking for the correct amounts to use. Their recipe did not have any cream in their sauce. Does anyone know how Hilltop Steak House made their famous lobster pie?

While i appreciate the recipe and growing up going to hilltop all the time, living in peabody ma, the lazy man's lobster casserole was always my favorite dish. Why this dish is delicious and i have made it numerous times, this recipe is identical to the new England yankee magazine's recipe. So I can not give more stars because i know this isn't the replicated hilltop recipe, but a classic new England version
