They\u2019re perfect for meal prep or a quick party appetizer, and they hold up wonderfully in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients<\/p>\n<p>8\u201310 celery stalks, cut into 3-inch sticks<\/p>\n<p>8 oz cream cheese, softened<\/p>\n<p>1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese<\/p>\n<p>1\/3 cup sour cream<\/p>\n<p>4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled<\/p>\n<p>2 tablespoons green onion or chives, chopped<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 tsp garlic powder<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 tsp onion powder<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 tsp kosher salt<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)<\/p>\n<p>1\/8 tsp black pepper<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Directions<\/p>\n<p>Step 1: Prep the Celery<\/p>\n<p>Rinse the celery and pat it completely dry.<\/p>\n<p>Tip: This is key! Any moisture can cause the cream cheese mixture to slide off instead of staying in the \u201cboat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Step 2: Make the Creamy Base<\/p>\n<p>In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and lump-free.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Step 3: Add Flavor and Mix<\/p>\n<p>Stir in the shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, green onions, and all spices. Taste and adjust with extra salt or paprika if desired.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Step 4: Fill the Celery Boats<\/p>\n<p>Use a small spoon or butter knife to stuff each celery stick with the mixture. Smooth the top so it\u2019s level with the edges.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Step 5: Chill and Serve<\/p>\n<p>Place the boats in a glass dish, cover, and refrigerate for 20\u201330 minutes. This sets the filling and keeps the celery crisp and refreshing for every bite.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pack celery sticks with this creamy filling for a party treat you\u2019ll keep reaching for again and again. &nbsp; These&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7284,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Pack celery sticks with this creamy filling for a party treat you\u2019ll keep reaching for again and again. - Grandma Baking Recipes","description":"Pack celery sticks with this creamy filling for a party treat you\u2019ll keep reaching for again and again. &nbsp; These Low Carb Creamy Bacon Cheddar Celery Boats"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7283"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7283\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7285,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7283\/revisions\/7285"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
