Thread: Crockpot stuffing

My friend asked me today if I had a good recipe for "crock pot stuffing" for Thanksgiving. I have never heard of a recipe for that! Please help. Thanks for any s***estions!

Hello Cookbkqwn - welcome to CK.

I make my regular stuffing and put it into the crockpot with a little chicken stock and/or the neck on top to add some poultry flavour as I brine my turkeys and the stuffing would get too salty if in the bird.

half loaf of stale bread cut into small cubes
1 large onion diced and sauteed in butter (just until soft)
2 Tbsp poultry seasoning
1 apple cubed (optional) (sometimes I add sometimes I don't)
Salt & pepper
A little milk or chicken stock to moisten the bread

As the onion cooks you can mix the other ingredients in a large bowl.
Grease the crockpot or use a spray.
When onion is cooked, mix it into the bread mixture
Pour it all into the crockpot and you can cook it for several hours on low. All it needs to do is heat up as everything is already cooked in it.

Rube - this looks like a great recipe; I love the idea of adding an apple. Thanks for sharing! Got a question: Is that really 2 tablespoons of poultry seasoning? I put less than 1 teaspoon in a large batch of my stuffing, and the flavor really comes through.

Ingredients
1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups chopped onion
2 cups chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley I USE DRIED
12 ounces sliced mushrooms YUCK!! I DON'T USE
12 cups dry bread cubes
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 1/2 cups chicken broth, or as needed
2 eggs, beaten
Directions
1.Melt butter or margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, celery, mushroom, and parsley in butter, stirring frequently.
2.Spoon cooked vegetables over bread cubes in a very large mixing bowl. Season with poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, marjoram, and salt and pepper. Pour in enough broth to moisten, and mix in eggs. Transfer mixture to slow cooker, and cover.
3.Cook on low for several hours. Do need to stir every once and awhile so a big crust doesn't form where the stuffing sets against the side of the cooker

Put in whatever amount works for you. I just keep sprinkling until I get the required "colour"

I make crock pot dressing/stuffing every year now because it is so easy and taste better than a baked dressing. I make it pretty much the same as a dressing for the turkey but with a bit more moisture. It is great to take to a large gathering and works really well if you are doing a Deep Fried Turkey.
