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.

I found this stuffing to be a bit dry. I think I would add more broth or water next time.
