Crock-Pot Stuffing

Friday, November 11, 2011 | Publish by MizWasy

I was looking for an alternative to putting the stuffing inside the turkey (since hubby longed for that in-the-bird taste) and found something via the internet that became the foundation for this recipe.

It was definitely a hit - my husband thought it was just like stuffing from inside the turkey. It's become my favorite stuffing recipe. Plus there's an added benefit - it doesn't require oven space!

Crock-Pot Stuffing

Ingredients:
4 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
2 stk celery, sliced or diced
1 c carrot, diced
1 md onion, diced
1 pkg (14 oz) herb seasoned stuffing cubes
1 pkg (7 oz) cornbread stuffing
4 - 5 c broth/stock (match flavor to your meal - or use vegetable stock) divided
2 eggs
non-stick cooking spray

Directions:
In a large skillet, cook bacon to render fat and get slightly crispy. Add in celery, carrot and onion, cook until softened.
  
Place stuffing crumbs into a large bowl. Add the bacon, onion, celery mixture. Toss together.

Measure 1 1/2 cups broth into a measuring cup, add eggs and blend fairly well. Pour over stuffing mixture and toss ingredients with a rubber spatula/scraper/spoonula.

Continue adding the rest of the broth/stock to the stuffing as you stir. Keep in mind you want it to be fairly moist/damp but not soupy. You may not use all of the stock or you may need more - it depends on how dry the stuffing mixes are.

Using a 5 qt or larger slow cooker, spray liner with nonstick spray. Pour stuffing into liner and smooth the top. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour then turn to low and cook an additional 2 - 4 hours (it will hold for much longer, though, if necessary).

Other Notes: In a pinch? You can substitute the following for the stuffing mixes: 1 box Stove Top Savory Herb flavor, 1 box Stove Top Cornbread flavor and 1 box of another Stove Top flavor (chicken, pork, turkey).

This can be made vegetarian - you can add cranberries and diced apple (add apple when cooking onion/celery). Also, it can be made into oyster dressing by adding oysters when tossing mixture together. You can also substitute 1 pound sausage for the bacon, if desired.

It adapts well to any number of meals:  chicken, turkey, pork chops or pork loin, game hens - it is an easy side for those times when you need your oven for other things.

Enjoy!
