Celery is the star in this dish instead of being a supporting character! Sometimes, I use roughly crushed chow mein noodles instead of crackers and just enough butter to crisp the almonds.

CELERY EN CASSEROLE

I love to cook for big crowds, and I do a lot of outdoor entertaining during the summer. In winter, when it's too cold for outdoor eating, I still invite people over for meals indoors. I save elegant dishes such as this for those more intimate indoor dinners. This delicious, unusual casserole is a light vegetable side dish that is especially pretty on a holiday table.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp celery. Limp or wilted celery will not hold up well in the casserole.
  • Cut the celery into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the celery. It should be tender but still slightly crunchy.
  • Use a good quality cheese. Sharp cheddar or Gruyère are both good choices.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. Onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika are all good options.
  • Serve the casserole hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Crunchy celery casserole is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh celery, cheese, onions, mayonnaise, and sour cream. The casserole is baked until golden brown and bubbly. It is a great way to use up leftover celery and is also a good source of vitamins and minerals.
