Boil celery in water to cover for about 10 minutes or until tender. Drain. Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and add milk slowly, stirring constantly until thick and smooth. Add salt and drained celery. Spoon mixture into greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Top with pecans (or mix in with celery mixture).
Mix bread crumbs with 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle over celery mixture. (Can refrigerate, then bring to room temperature and bake.) Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Posted to recipelu-digest by "Diane Geary" <diane@keyway.net> on Feb 24, 1998
