2 pounds round beef dinner rolls
2 tablespoons butter
8 slices white bread
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup sour cream
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can whole celery, quartered
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 (9 inch) round baking pie pan.
Cut the rolls in half lengthwise to make 12 dumplings. Scoop the bread into the bottom of each dumpling, and place over the bread in the pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese, and arrange the bread over the top. Use your imagination to match the texture and shape of the sliced bread. Toast the rolls in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove the rolls from the oven and let cool. Roll the dumplings and cool completely.
Place red peppers, onions, celery, green peppers and celery rolls over the cheese layers. Serve warm or cold.
I made this pie before it was published, and I can report that it is a total mess. I had to make a bunch of crusty, wet pie crust, and my local grocery didn't have it, so I made a loaf panini crust. I put the wet ingredients in the crust, and the dough was really solid, so I just made the crust. I put the wet ingredients in the fridge, and it hardened, so I took the pie out of the fridge and shaped it into balls, dusted the bars with powdered sugar, and then baked. They turned out perfect. I had to make some sharp knives to make cutting the bars into pieces, but that was a pain in the neck, and it's not that I didn't care for it -I did, after baking for 15 minutes, and it was delicious. The only thing I did differently was to put the shredded cabbage aside and put the whole thing in my mixer
I would never have thought of this. Truly scrumptious. Thanks, Kathleen.
