SLOW-COOKER SAUSAGE STUFFING



Slow-Cooker Sausage Stuffing image

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).

Time 12h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces plus more for greasing the slow cooker
1 large crusty loaf of French bread or two baguettes (not sourdough), cut into 1-inch pieces and staled overnight (about 14 cups)
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/3-inch pieces (about 1 heaping cup)
2 stalks celery, cut into 1/3-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons finely-minced fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
2 tablespoons roughly-chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

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.

Yield 10-14

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 pounds (about 2 loaves) high quality sandwich bread or soft Italian or French bread, cut into 3/4-inch dice, about 5 quarts
• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, plus more for buttering slow cooker
• 1 1/2 pounds sage sausage, removed from casing
• 1 large onion, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
• 4 large stalks celery, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated on microplane
• 1/4 cup minced fresh sage leaves (or 2 teaspoons dried sage leaves)
• 24 ounces (3 cups) low-sodium chicken or turkey broth, preferably homemade
• 3 whole eggs
• 1/4 cup minced parsley leaves
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.
