Ingredients
8 celery stalks
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 tbsp green onions, sliced
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
1. Wash the celery stalks, trim the ends, and cut them into 3 to 4 inch pieces. Pat them completely dry.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar, chopped dill, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
3. Spoon or pipe the filling into the center of each celery piece.
4. Top each stuffed celery stick with crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.
5. Chill for 15 to 30 minutes if desired, then serve cold.
Notes
Make sure the celery is fully dry before filling so the mixture stays creamy and does not slide out.
For the best texture, add the bacon just before serving so it stays crisp.
A piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped makes the filling look neat and generous.
