SLOW-COOKER SAUSAGE STUFFING
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).

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.

SLOW COOKER SAGE AND SAUSAGE STUFFING
Steps:
- 1 Adjust oven racks to lower middle and upper middle position. Preheat oven to 275°F. Spread bread evenly over two rimmed baking sheets. Stagger trays on oven racks and bake until completely dried, about 50 minutes total, rotating trays and stirring bread cubes several times during baking. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Turn off oven. 2 In large Dutch oven, melt butter over medium high heat until foaming subsides (don't allow butter to brown), about 2 minutes. Add sausage and mash with stiff whisk or potato masher to break up into fine pieces (largest pieces should be no greater than 1/4-inch). Cook, stirring frequently until only a few bits of pink remain, about 8 minutes. Add onions, celery, garlic, and sage and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add half of chicken stock. 3 Whisk remaining chicken stock, eggs, and 3 tablespoons parsley in medium bowl until homogeneous. Stirring constantly with wooden spoon, slowly pour egg mixture into sausage mixture. Add bread cubes and fold gently until evenly mixed. 4 Grease the inside of a slow cooker with butter. Transfer stuffing to slow cooker and set to low heat. Cook for 5 hours. Keep warm or serve.

Tips:
- Use a variety of bread cubes. This will give your stuffing a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a combination of white bread, whole wheat bread, and cornbread.
- Don't overstuff the slow cooker. Leave some room for the stuffing to expand as it cooks.
- Cook the stuffing on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The cooking time will depend on the amount of stuffing you are making and the type of slow cooker you are using.
- Stir the stuffing occasionally while it is cooking. This will help to prevent the stuffing from sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Add some fresh herbs or spices to the stuffing before cooking. This will give the stuffing a more flavorful taste.
- Serve the stuffing hot with your favorite Thanksgiving dishes.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker stuffing is a delicious and easy way to prepare this classic Thanksgiving dish. By following these tips, you can make sure that your stuffing turns out perfect every time. So, give this recipe a try and enjoy a delicious and stress-free Thanksgiving meal!
