The Ingredients
serves 10 ish
8 x 8 pan of baked cornbread (I used a GF cornbread mix)
4 slices of toasted bread (I used inexpesive GF sliced bread)
2 cups celery, chopped
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 beaten eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable!) --and another 1/4 cup if desired, later
The Directions.
Use a 6-quart slow cooker.
If you only have a 4 quart, toss the stuffing together in a huge mixing bowl, and then transfer to your 4 quart.
Bake the cornbread according to package directions (or by all means, make it by scratch!)
If you have a few days to let it go stale, do that. Other wise, cut into slices and bake at 300 degrees until toasty (along with your bread slices).
It took about 30 minutes in my oven.
While the cornbread is toasting, chop up the onion and celery.
Put the pieces into your crockpot. Add the seasoning.
Melt butter in the microwave, and mix together with 3 beaten eggs. Stir well into the veggies and seasonings in the crockpot.
Cut the cornbread and toasted bread into cubes, about 1/2 inch square.
Toss the cubes of bread and cornbread well with the ingredients in the crockpot.
Pour in 2 cups of broth. Stir gingerly to combine.
The cornbread will break up more than it does in the traditional stuffing, but try to keep a few pieces whole for texture.
Cook on high for 2 hours. This can be on warm successfully for up to 2 hours.
If you'd like a more moist dressing, add another 1/4 cup of broth before serving.
The Verdict.
Tasty. Delicious.
I think you will have a new addition to your table this upcoming Thanksgiving!!
enjoy!! happy slow cooking!!
