Slow Cooker Stuffing

First I have to praise the person who came up with this little gem.





How many of you hate lifting your slow cooker ( aka crockpot ) to clean it? I even broke one years ago because I dropped it in the sink. It was a little slippery from the soap. Besides taking up your whole sink to soak before you clean it, it's also awkward to rinse off. So thank you so much for making these liners!!! They have made my life so much easier.And they will make yours too. So try these please for the holidays. Ok so on to the recipe. Slowcooker stuffing I must say is also one of those wonderful recipes that you can cook for the holidays and it doesn't take up space in your oven. Please use your slowcookers! Makes life so much easier.



Slow Cooker Stuffing
Ingredients

    * 1 cup butter or margarine
    * 2 cups chopped onion
    * 2 cups chopped celery
    * 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    * 12 ounces sliced mushrooms
    * 12 cups dry bread cubes
    * 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
    * 1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage
    * 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    * 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
    * 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    * 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    * 4 1/2 cups chicken broth, or as needed
    * 2 eggs, beaten

Directions

   1. Melt butter or margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, celery, mushroom, and parsley in butter, stirring frequently.
   2. Spoon cooked vegetables over bread cubes in a very large mixing bowl. Season with poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, marjoram, and salt and pepper. Pour in enough broth to moisten, and mix in eggs. Transfer mixture to slow cooker, and cover.
   3. Cook on High for 45 minutes, then reduce heat to Low, and cook for 4 to 8 hours.

Now this is just a bread stuffing but you can add ground sausage and beef to it. Just cook that up with your onions then drain then follow the rest of the recipe.
