Celery Mushroom Casserole

Contributed by: Melinda

So, while trying to come up with a delicious no-stuffing recipe for Thanksgiving dinner, I decided to stick with some standard flavorings for traditional bread stuffing...but skip the bread. This turned out to be delicious. If you want a vegetarian version skip the bacon altogether or use Fakin Bacon.

6 stalks celery
1 large onion
10 medium crimini mushrooms
3 sprigs thyme
1 red apple
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth (optional)
2 slices bacon (optional)
  • Preheat oven to 350º
  • Clean, trim ends and remove toughest strings from celery stalks
  • Peel onion and cut into quarters - slice across into 1/4 inch slices
  • Clean mushrooms, remove stems and quarter
  • Mince garlic
  • In a skillet, fry bacon until desired crispness
  • Remove bacon and reserve bacon fat
  • Re-heat skillet and add onion and celery and 1/4 tsp salt
  • Add additional bacon fat if needed and sauté until just beginning to brown
  • Add mushrooms, thyme leaves and garlic with 1/4 tsp salt - continue cooking until mushrooms are lightly browned
  • Core apple but do not peel - dice into very small dice and add to pan
  • Cook about 1-2 minutes more
  • Brush some of the bacon fat into the bottom of a casserole
  • Pour in vegetables
  • Pour broth over all
  • Mince bacon slices and sprinkle over the top - drizzle with more bacon fat if desired
  • Bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes - let stand 10 minutes before serving

    You can substitute olive oil for the bacon fat. Thicken the broth if desired with cornstarch or besan.

    I don't always use the additional broth and the dish is excellent either way.
