SLOW-COOKER SAUSAGE STUFFING



Slow-Cooker Sausage Stuffing image

This hearty stuffing requires no use of a stove-top or oven-simply add cut-up stale French bread, a few vegetables and sweet Italian sausage to a slow cooker and let the machine do the rest. Only a small amount of chicken broth is necessary because the vegetables and sausage give off so much liquid (and flavor).

Time 12h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces plus more for greasing the slow cooker
1 large crusty loaf of French bread or two baguettes (not sourdough), cut into 1-inch pieces and staled overnight (about 14 cups)
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/3-inch pieces (about 1 heaping cup)
2 stalks celery, cut into 1/3-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons finely-minced fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
2 tablespoons roughly-chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 6-quart slow cooker with butter.
  • Toss the stale French bread, butter, onions, carrots, celery, thyme and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in the slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth over the bread mixture and toss to coat. Use your hands to tear teaspoon-size pieces of the Italian sausage and put them directly on top of the bread mixture. The sausage should cover most of the stuffing.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 4 hours. Remove the lid and gently stir the sausage into the stuffing. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Transfer to a shallow serving dish and garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve hot.

CROCK POT BREAD & SAUSAGE STUFFING



Crock Pot Bread & Sausage Stuffing image

I love stuffing and have always been disappointed that there is just never enough of it. This makes a large quantity and tastes delicious. Handy too because you can serve it right from the crock pot insert. You could also add mushrooms or apples to this recipe.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 3h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 loaf bread
salt
pepper
poultry seasoning
garlic powder
1 medium onion
2 celery ribs, including leafy part
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup butter
1 lb bulk sausage
1 1/2 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • In large bowl put 1 loaf bread broken up and dried overnight. Season crumbs with salt, pepper, poultry seasoning & garlic powder.
  • In pan, saute 1 chopped onion, chopped celery and the chopped parsley in the butter.
  • In another pan brown & break up the bulk sausage.
  • Pour the sauteed vegetables and sausage over the bread crumbs. Moisten with the chicken broth.
  • Place in slow cooker on low for about 3 hours. (Time may vary depending on your crock pot.) I recommend giving it a stir and checking to see if it is getting too dry around the edges from time to time. You can always add a little more broth to suit your taste.

Tips:

  • Use good quality sausage. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dressing.
  • Don't overcook the sausage. Cook it until it is just browned, otherwise it will be dry.
  • Use a variety of bread cubes. This will give the dressing a more interesting texture.
  • Don't pack the dressing too tightly into the slow cooker. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cover the dressing with foil before cooking. This will help to keep it moist.
  • Let the dressing rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Crock Pot Sausage Dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a holiday meal or a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage. With a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can have a delicious and hearty meal that the whole family will love.
