Thanksgiving Crockpot Stuffing

November 24th, 2008

In the spirit of the holidays, we’re sharing a family favorite recipe for Turkey Day - Crockpot stuffing!

We make this in addition to the stuffing in the bird - which, let’s face it, is never enough! - but you could also serve this up as a vegetarian portion of the meal (obviously sans meat).

Ingredients:

1 cup margarine
2 cups chopped onion (this would be ~1 very large onion or a couple of medium-sized)
2 cups chopped celery
8 oz fresh, sliced mushrooms
¼ cup chopped parsley (or dried)
2  7 oz packages bread cubes (one plain, one seasoned)
3 ½ cups chicken broth (make a little stronger if using bullion, this would be 2 cans of chicken broth soup)
2 eggs, beaten
8 oz browned & drained pork sausage

To Cook:

• Preheat crockpot on HIGH with a small amount of water in it (VERY small!)
• Melt butter and sauté vegetables, then add browned sausage
• In large bowl add both types of bread cubes; pour sautéed veggies & sausage mix over cubes and toss well
• Pour enough boiling broth over cubes to moisten
• Add beaten eggs and mix well
• Add remaining broth
• Pack stuffing lightly into crockpot and cook on HIGH for 45-60 minutes.
• Continue to cook on LOW for 5 additional hours.

Enjoy!
