CROCK POT STUFFING (DRESSING)
This is so similar to my "homemade" stuffing, I decided to try it & it rocks. I chopped up my giblets and sauteed them along with the onions & celery and included them. Beats packing it into the bird! You can double for a large crock pot.

This is absolutely the best dressing I have ever had and so simple to make. Put it in the crock pot and forget it. Hope you enjoy (Update) I have also made this with Rita's Corn Bread with Jalapeno & Cheddar Cheese recipe #50379 and just left out the cheddar cheese and it turned out great)Update: I omitted the salt after SusieD's review. Just add to your liking. I have recently made this and added chopped up chicken to it and it's excellent.

Steps:
- Lay your bread out on the counter the night before you prepare the dressing so that it will dry.
- Crumble the breads.
- Add all other ingredients except butter. Salt to taste.
- Pour into a sprayed crock pot.
- Dot with butter.
- Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4 hours.
Tips:
- Choose the right crock pot: Use a slow cooker that is large enough to accommodate all of your ingredients. A 6-quart or larger slow cooker is a good option.
- Don't overcrowd the crock pot: Leave some space around the ingredients so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook on low: Most crock pot recipes cook on low for 6-8 hours. This allows the flavors to develop and the ingredients to become tender.
- Don't open the lid: Opening the lid during cooking lets heat escape, which can slow down the cooking process and make the food less tender.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that your meat is cooked to the proper temperature, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. The meat is done when it reaches the desired internal temperature.
- Be careful when serving: The crock pot and its contents will be very hot. Use caution when handling and serving the food.
Conclusion:
Crock pot dressings are a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your meals. With a little planning, you can create a variety of dressings that will complement any dish. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to dress up your food, reach for your crock pot. You won't be disappointed.
