Ingredients

The following ingredients have 11 Servings
  • 12 oz ground sausage
  • 8 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/2 cups diced onion
  • 1 1/2 cups diced celery
  • 2 cups chopped mushrooms
  • 12 cups cubed french bread (dried out and crusty)
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1 tsp dry thyme
  • 1 tsp salt (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 to 2 cups chicken broth or stock (depending on how moist you like your stuffing)
  • 2 eggs (lightly beaten)

Instruction

  • Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
  • Return the skillet to the stove top, melt the butter over medium-high heat and add the onion, celery and mushrooms. Sauté until the veggies are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Place the crusty bread in a very large bowl and add the sausage, sautéed veggies, the seasonings, 1 cup of chicken broth, and the lightly beaten eggs. Stir to combine. If needed, add a little more chicken broth to moisten the stuffing to your liking. Keep in mind that the moisture will not reduce much in the crock pot since there will be a lid on it.
  • Pour your stuffing mixture into a lightly greased (7 quart) crock pot. Cover and set to Low for 4 hours. When done, stir gently and serve. Enjoy!
