Time 14m

Yield 1 large pan, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup butter
2 cups chopped onions
2 cups chopped celery
1/2 cup parsley sprig
2 (8 ounce) cans drained mushrooms
12 -13 cups slightly dry bread cubes (and or cornbread)
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 eggs, well beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon marjoram (optional)
3 1/2-4 1/2 cups chicken broth or 3 1/2-4 1/2 cups turkey broth, and diced giblets

  • Melt butter in skillet and sauté onion, celery, parsley and mushrooms. Pour over bread crumbs in very large mixing bowl. Add all seasonings and toss well together. Pour enough broth to moisten, add beaten eggs, and mix together well.
  • Pack lightly into crock pot. Cover and set to high for 45 minute then reduce heat to low and cook for 4 to 8 hours.
  • (Check on it every so often and add more broth if necessary).

Tips:

  • Use a slow cooker that is at least 5 quarts in capacity to ensure that the dressing has enough room to cook properly.
  • If you are using a whole chicken, rinse it well and pat it dry before cooking. This will help to remove any bacteria and ensure that the dressing cooks evenly.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasonings in the dressing to your liking. If you like a more savory dressing, add more sage or thyme. If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add more cranberries or raisins.
  • If you are using a store-bought cornbread mix, be sure to follow the package directions for preparing it. Some mixes require that you add water or milk, while others do not.
  • Be sure to cook the dressing on low heat for at least 8 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the dressing is heated through.
