How to Make Celery Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 2 cups chopped celery and cook for 7 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain well.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked celery with 1 (8 ounce) can of water chestnuts, drained, and 1 (10.75 ounce) can of cream of celery soup. Pour the mixture into a greased 1 ½-quart casserole dish.
  4. In a medium sauté pan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 ½ cups crushed crackers (or chow mein noodles) and ½ cup slivered almonds. Stir until the crumbs are golden brown and the almonds are fragrant.
  5. Sprinkle the cracker and almond mixture evenly over the celery mixture in the casserole dish.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through and the topping is golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
