#3279 - Stuffed Celery

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 1/4 cups mayo
4oz. jar pimentos (drained and chopped)
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. grated onions (optional; more if you wish)
1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper
16oz. very sharp cheddar cheese (shredded finely)
24 - 4" celery pieces

Wash 6 ribs of celery, then place them upside down on paper towels to dry. Cut the celery ribs into 4" pieces. In a bowl add mayo, chopped pimentos, Worcestershire sauce, grated onions and pepper--stir well. Add all of the shredded cheese--stir to mix. Spread the cheese mixture into each piece of celery. If you have cheese mixture left over, cut more celery and stuff the extra celery as well. Note: pre-packaged shredded cheese is shredded too thickly and does not work well. Optional: sprinkle other seasonings over the tops if you wish (such as oregano, garlic powder, etc.) but do just one as a taste test first.
