Our Crockpot Dressing Will Be a New Favorite Side Dish

Thanksgiving is a time for family and being grateful for all you have in your life.  I am thankful for my mom for so many reasons, but one of my favorites is her amazing cooking and baking skills!  I can hold my own, but her is almost always “better” than mine (my opinion & many others, too)!  Her food is always so good because she cooks from the heart, and because of that, you can almost taste the love she puts into every dish she makes! 

However, while this is usually a Thanksgiving side dish, we find that we will make some time for a basic turkey dinner throughout the year, with turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy, dressing, a veggie or two, and some rolls.  So, consider throwing an extra turkey that you find on sale this season into the freezer and save it for another time to enjoy some of your favorite Thanksgiving feast dishes!!!

Crock Pot Dressing

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Butter or Margarine
• 2 Cups Chopped Onion
• 2 Cups Chopped Celery
• 12-14 Cups Dry Bread Cubes
• 1 tsp Poultry Seasoning
• 1 ½ tsp Salt
• 1 ½ tsp Sage
• 1 tsp Thyme
• 4-6 Cups Chicken broth or turkey broth
• 2 Well Beaten Eggs

Directions:

1 – Melt butter in skillet and sauté onion and celery.
2 – When done add all seasonings and stir.
3 – Pour this mixture over bread cubes in a very large mixing bowl.
4 – Pour in enough broth to moisten to your preference.
5 – Add beaten eggs and mix together well.
6 – Spray crock with PAM.
7 – Pack dressing lightly into crockpot.
8 – Cover and set to high for 1 hour; then reduce to low to cook for 4-8 hours.
9 – Serve & Enjoy!

Notes:

• For the Dry Bread Cubes, our favorites are Pepperidge Farm Cubed Stuffing. We us 1 bag of Sage & Onion and 1 Bag of Herb Seasoned to make our perfect mixture!
• We like this super crispy so I stir the dressing every once in a while to get the crispy parts off of the edges and then it makes more crispy edges! Repeat as many times for your liking!
• When you do occasionally stir, watch that there is enough moisture in the mix, as you may need to add a splash or two of more broth.
• You could put this in a 9 x 13 pan and bake. However, I like it in the crockpot so I can leave more room in the oven for other things.

This is a family favorite side dish for our Thanksgiving dinner and any time we have turkey throughout the year as well! I hope your family enjoys it as much as we do!
