Nothing is better on a cold winters night as the Celery Ham Casserole. Even the name just makes you stay inside, stay warm and sit on the couch.

Ingredients

• 3 cups Celery, cut in 2 inch julienne strips, cooked
• 2 cups Diced cooked ham or canned luncheon meat
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
• ¾ cup Buttered soft bread crumbs

Directions

• Combine celery and ham in a shallow 1 ½ quart baking dish. Melt butter then blend in flour. Add milk and cook, stirring until thickened. Add cheese and stir until melted. Mix with celery and ham, then sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
