I make this and offer celery salt for guests who want to use it. At Christmas dinner, I sprinkle celery salt and paprika (Christmas green and red) very lightly over each bowl before serving. -
I volunteered to make this for Christmas dinner and my father-in-law says it was just like he used to have each Christmas on the farm! Simple and comforting! Thank you for helping me out with sharing! -
This is a tradition around our home as long as I can remember. The only thing my Dad did a little differently is he made it a day ahead so that it seasoned through.
