Nana's Crock Pot Stuffing
This is my mom's famous recipe. It really is the best. We added the apples this year and really liked it.
3¼ hours | 10 min prep
SERVES 10
- 1-2 packages Hot Jimmy Dean Sausage
- 2 cups chopped onions
- 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced celery
- 1 cup diced tart apple, peeled and cored
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tablespoon ground sage
- 1 teaspoon ground marjoram
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon savory
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1 Tbsp chopped garlic
- 12 cups lightly toasted bread, cubes
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
- Johnny's seasoning to taste
- In a frying pan brown sausage and then add onions, celery and apple in butter until onion is just translucent. Add your garlic very last and saute a little more. You may need to add some butter if there isn't much grease in the pan from the sausage.
- Stir in sage, marjoram, salt, pepper, savory and thyme.
- Combine vegetable mixture with the bread cubes and parsley.
- Toss well.
- Pour stock over mixture, tossing well. You're stuffing mixture should be pretty moist and start to cake together.
- Spoon into your crock-pot.
- Cover and cook on high for one hour.
- Reduce to low and continue cooking for 2-3 hours, stirring every hour.
- As stated for Vegetarians use vegetable stock.
