This Cornbread Stuffing is made right in the slow cooker!

This Slow Cooker Cornbread Stuffing is such a fabulous way to make that delicious stuffing everyone wants on the holiday table without using the oven.  Perfectly flavored, this stuffing is always a hit.

I love stuffing, and yes I call it stuffing even though we would never stuff it in our bird.  We always place it in a pan and bake it and it comes out perfect and I can never get enough, it is my favorite thing on the holiday dinner table!

I was thinking…. what if I could make it in the slow cooker and save space in the oven for that big ol’ bird we gotta cook?  Guess what guys?  It works!  And it is super yummy!  Moist and fluffy and you still get some crispy edges, perfect!!!

Now I know this recipe uses *gasp* cream of mushroom soup but hey it’s the holidays and you are probably going to be throwing that into your green bean casserole anyways (or making your own cream of, in which case make extra for this dish!). This dressing recipe is perfect for any holiday meal.  The side dishes are my favorite part!

This is the basic recipe, feel free to add in other seasonings or sausage or bacon or whatever else you like in your stuffing/dressing (though where I am from neither of those words have a G on the end lol)

This is such a great way to make a delicious stuffing, save time and save room in your oven.  The holiday meals can be a little crazy too cook and figure out timing, so just pop this stuffing in the slow cooker and don’t worry about it!  This slow cooker cornbread dressing is great for the holiday season. It is my favorite part of the thanksgiving meal.  This thanksgiving dressing will be the hit of your thanksgiving table.

Next time you are cooking one of those huge holiday meals take a little help from the slow cooker to make your stuffing.

HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER CORNBREAD STUFFING

• The night before, bake the 2 boxes of cornbread according to box direction and bake in a 9×13, score into cornbread cubes and let dry out over night.
• Saute the chopped onion and celery in a little butter or oil until caramelized.
• In a bowl mix the cream of mushroom, stock, eggs, seasoning, salt, pepper and veggies.
• Add wet mixture to greased slow cooker.
• Add in the cornbread and gently stir. You want the cornbread chunks to break up a little.
• When all the cornbread is moistened, cover and cook on high 2 hours or on low 4 hours, or until firm and browned around edges.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

So save your oven space for turkey and pie and throw your stuffin in the slow cooker this year and let it do all the work and your guests will be amazed at your perfect stuffing, it may outshine the turkey! (but probably not the pie because…well…pie! lol)
