SLOW COOKER SAUSAGE STUFFING

This year, not sure why more then before, I am planning on getting my holiday dinners prepped ahead of time and use all the helpful appliances that I have. Like my trusty slow cooker. Since stuffing is one of our favorite Thanksgiving dishes, it needs to pass my Hubby’s test and still be easy to make. This Slow Cooker Sausage Stuffing is deliciously savory (you can use Italian sausage or sage sausage), perfectly moist without getting soggy, with a slight crunch to the bits that cooked by the side of the pot.

Recipe Notes

*Do not use freshly baked bread for this recipe. Stale (two day old) bread is better. If you don't have stale bread, cut the bread into cubes, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in 400 degrees F for 7 to 10 minutes.

*You can use chicken stock in this recipe, however I find broth more flavorful so that's what I recommend.
