Because anything that helps with the busy holidays is a must!
Happy holidays! Thanksgiving is nearing and it’s time to start prepping for your holiday menu. What’s your favorite Thanksgiving side dish? Hands down, mine is stuffing. Mmmmmmm, stuffing.
The easiest way to create this holiday favorite, not to mention freeing up a space in the oven, is to make it in the crockpot. Spend less time in the kitchen and and more time enjoying your holidays!
NOTE: You need your cubed bread to be dried out and crusty. You can buy pre packaged stuffing bread cubes that are dried out….. or if you are cutting up your own bread, simple cut it up at night, and leave it out, uncovered all night.
Easy Savory Crockpot Stuffing
- 12 cups cubed dried out bread
- 1 lb ground sausage
- 5 Tablespoon butter
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cups chopped mushrooms
- 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 Tablespoon All Purpose seasoning (example, Mrs. Dash seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups cups chicken broth or stock
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Start by browning sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, drain and set aside.
- Next saute onion, garlic, celery, parsley and mushrooms in the 5 Tablespoons of butter, until veggies are softened.
- Place your dried bread cubes into the bottom of your slow cooker ( I used a 6 qt). Top with browned sausage, sautéed veggies, salt, all purpose seasonings, 1.5 cup of chicken broth, and beaten eggs. Stir to combine.
- Cover and on Low for 4 hours.
