Crockpot Bread Stuffing

Heated to perfection in the crockpot - taste the difference yourself

Yield: 9 cups

Ingredients

1 cup butter or margarine

3/4 cup onion, chopped

1-1/2 cups celery, chopped (including stalks and leaves)

1 cup mushrooms (sliced)

9 cups soft bread cubes (sourdough, Italian, Pumpernickle, or your choice)

1-1/2 teaspoons sage leaves, crushed

1 teaspoon thyme leaves, crushed

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon parsley

dash salt

Add To

Directions:

In large stockpot, saute onion, celery and mushrooms in butter until onion is tender. Stir in 1/3 of the bread cubes. Add sage, thyme, pepper, parsley and salt. Toss to blend. Add remaining bread cubes and blend together. Set aside one cup of dressing to stuff poultry just before roasting. This adds wonderful flavor to the bird.

Spray crockpot with nonstick cooking spray. Add remaining stuffing and cook covered on HIGH for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Reduce temperature to LOW for 4 hours. Place any remaining stuffing in greased baking pan, covered with foil and heat in a 350 degree F. oven for 1 hour.
