Mom’s Crockpot Stuffing Recipe for the long haul

This recipe has been made by my Mom, for years. It was passed on to other family members. The fresh mushrooms are part of what I remember the most and were my favorite part of the stuffing, other than the crispy parts you from the heat in the crock on the edges of the stuffing.

When I left home and began hosting my own Thanksgivings, I asked Mom for the recipe and started making it myself. I’ve been making this particular recipe now for well over 30 years! I would have to say it is the best stuffing recipe I have ever made. And, every year, it just seems to get better.

The Vegetables: Onions, mushrooms, and celery. These can be prepared ahead of time, or you can buy the vegetables already pre-cut for convenience.

Stuffing Cubes: I use dried stuffing cubes. You can buy these already flavored. I like to buy the classic style cubes and add additional seasonings.

Chicken Broth: You can buy premade, bouillion, or concentrate. I prefer the concentrate.

The slow cooker: You will need a 6 quart slow cooker. This is my favorite one!

Tips for making the best crockpot stuffing recipe

• Use fresh herbs if you can. I feel fresh gives the best flavor.
• Take the time to use fresh mushrooms. Don’t use canned mushrooms in this crock pot stuffing as they give a tinny flavor that is very unappealing.
• The last hour of cook time, remove the crockpot lid and let the stuffing simmer and cook out some of the moisture.
• Stir the stuffing a few times in that last hour. The heat from the crockpot is working on making crispy stuffing along the bottom and sides. When you stir it, the crispy part comes up towards the top and you can get more crispy stuffing!
