Celery Casserole
Description
The Celery Casserole features cooked celery and onion sautéed in butter with optional mushrooms, seasoned with poultry seasoning or ground sage. Water chestnuts add a crunchy texture. The mixture is combined with condensed cream of celery soup for a creamy consistency. Topped with buttered breadcrumbs, the casserole is baked until bubbly and browned, resulting in a creamy interior with a crisp topping.
This dish can be served as a side with main courses, bringing a mild, herb-infused flavor and a range of textures from tender celery to crunchy water chestnuts and crispy topping. It’s a comforting and familiar casserole style recipe.
According to notes, ensure celery is cooked on the stove until tender-crisp before baking, as oven time mainly heats through and browns the topping. Cheese such as Swiss or cheddar can be added for additional richness. The casserole keeps covered for up to four days refrigerated and reheats well at 350°F. It can also be frozen for up to two months.
