- 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.

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.
