Crock Pot Cornbread Dressing

Submitted by Nimz_

"This is absolutely the best dressing I have ever had and so simple to make. Put it in the crock pot and forget it. Hope you enjoy (Update) I have also made this with Rita's Corn Bread with Jalapeno & Cheddar Cheese recipe #50379 and just left out the cheddar cheese and it turned out great)Update: I omitted the salt after SusieD's review. Just add to your liking. I have recently made this and added chopped up chicken to it and it's excellent."

I tried this today and loved it! I was lazy and used Kroger cornbread stuffing mix for the cornbread and 4 whole wheat hamburger buns for the bread. I had some dehydrated chopped onions and celery, and used that instead of fresh. I used the poultry seasoning and no added salt. I also threw in a couple of large cans of chopped, cooked chicken breast, rinsed and drained. It could easily pass as my family's usual holiday dressing! Thanks for such an easy and good recipe!

I opted for this recipe last Thanksgiving-to free up my oven. This recipe didn’t disappoint everyone commented on how good it was. I am making again this year!

I have used this recipe for several years. It always gets rave reviews at Thanksgiving. I use 2 boxes of jiffy mix. I use my Vitamix to make the bread crumbs. I make the cornbread and bread crumbs the day before. As a time saver for holiday cooking, I use one tub each of fresh chopped onion and celery found in the produce department of the grocery store. I omit the salt and use seasoned pepper. I have the oval crockpot. I cook on high 2 1/2 hours. Stir and scrape sides if any is sticking. Cook on high 30 minutes more, then cook on low 30 minutes. Then I switch to keep warm. Comes out perfect every time.

I totally love this dressing. It was a blessing to free up my oven on Thanksgiving and it tastes every bit as good as what I used to bake in the oven. I do add more celery. dried parsley and poultry seasoning along with the sage because it seemed a little bland for us. Otherwise, I follow the recipe exactly and it always comes out moist and delicious. Thanks Nimz for one of the best recipes I've ever found online!
