Almond Celery Bake
1 bunch celery, slice (about 6 cups)
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I double this to 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1/2 cup slivered almonds
Place celery in a greased 2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese, paprika and pepper. Top with the soup. Sprinkle with bread crumbs.
Cover and bake at 375 for 45 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with almonds. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until golden brown.

The following recipe I would NOT make again, but I want to list it because I did make it. This blog is a reference to me as to what I cook. This dish was just pretty plain. Yes, it will satisfy your hunger, but that's about it. (Forgot to snap a picture of it.)
