It’s Friday and that means one thing around here…it’s time to chill out. It’s become a tradition here in the Southern Soul house, that on Friday afternoons, we kick back, enjoy a cold beverage and munch on something yummy. Over the years, I’ve compiled quite a list of easy to make appetizers that are ideal for making life easy in the kitchen after a hard week. One of the most simple yet outrageously good snacks that I make is stuffed celery. I always have the necessary ingredients on hand and the recipe comes together in less than 15 minutes.
Prep Time : 15 mins
Course : Appetizer, Snack
Cuisine : American
Servings : 4
Ingredients
4 - 5 stalks celery - washed and dried
1 8 oz cream cheese - softened
1/4 cup bacon - chopped
1/2 cup cheddar cheese - grated
1 tablespoon fresh parsley - chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives - chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
3 dashes hot sauce
Instructions
- Cut celery stalks in half and set aside. Using a food processor or hand held mixer, whip the cream cheese until smooth. Add in bacon, cheese, parsley, chives, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Pulse or blend until all ingredients are combined.
- Using a small spoon, fill the celery "boat" with cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with addition chives and bacon if desired. Serve immediately!
