Description
A stress-free and flavorful crock pot stuffing with sausage, perfect for Thanksgiving or any holiday gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf dried bread, cubed
- 1 lb ground sausage (spicy recommended)
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- Fresh herbs (sage, thyme, parsley)
- Optional: Diced apple or dried cranberries
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Brown the sausage in a skillet with onion and celery until soft and slightly crispy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, eggs, and melted butter.
- Add the bread cubes to the large bowl, then pour the sausage-veggie mixture on top.
- Gently toss to combine and let the bread soak up the flavors.
- Grease the crock pot and dump the stuffing mixture inside.
- Cook on low for 4 hours, checking at 3 hours if your slow cooker runs hot.
- If needed, crack the lid for the last 30 minutes to reduce excess moisture.
Notes
Use day-old or lightly toasted bread to prevent mushy stuffing. Optionally, sprinkle some reserved bread cubes in the last 30 minutes for a bit of crunch.
