Stuffed Celery Ingredients

- Mayonnaise – Full fat mayo for best results. You can substitute low fat mayo but we do not suggest fat free or Miracle Whip.
- Ranch seasoning – Dry ranch seasoning mix.
- Cheese – Shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bacon – Cooked, crumbled bacon. (We like to make bacon in the oven or air fryer bacon).

Preparation
What is good to put on celery?
These stuffed celery ribs are inspired by the flavors in our creamy ranch chicken (crack chicken) or crack chicken dip and filled with cream cheese, shredded cheese, ranch seasoning, and bacon.
Can you make stuffed celery ahead of time?
They can be fully prepared a day in advance.
Alternatively, if you’d like to do some prep farther ahead, go ahead and clean and cut the celery ribs and store them in water in the refrigerator. You can also make the filling and store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator for about 4 or 5 days. Stir if it begins to separate.
Leftovers and storage
How long does stuffed celery with cream cheese and bacon last?
Prepared, these will keep 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. Store in an airtight container for best results.
It is important to note that if they sat out at room temperature for more than 2 hours, you should dispose of leftovers as the will have been in the ‘danger zone’ for bacterial growth.
Can you freeze stuffed celery?
We do not suggest freezing this recipe.
