Crunchy Cheesy Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray an 11 x 7 baking dish with non stick cooking spray or grease. Cook bacon crisp and drain, crumble. Par cook celery in microwave, until tender crisp, or could saute in a little butter for a few minutes. If you like it on the crispy side, can add it raw. I prefer to par cook for a few minutes.

• 3. Spread into prepared baking dish.
• 4. Top with cheese and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and beginning to bubble.
• 5. In a bowl, add melted butter and Panko crumbs - toss to coat well. Spread over cheese, evenly.
• 6. Place back into the oven and continue baking for another 15 - 20 minutes or until bubbly and crumbs begin to golden.
• 7. Serve hot. This was delicious!
