It comes out perfect every time and you could serve it right out of the slow cooker dish.

And butter, of course!

If you have some leftover bread, I would use that.

Ive used hamburger and hot dog buns before and it works well.

If you are buying bread for your stuffing, though, choose a hearty sourdough or crusty boule loaf.

This is mostly as simple as it sounds.

Add the ingredients to the slow cooker and let it do the rest!

Doing that gives the aromatics some time to cook before stirring everything together.

Youll need at least a 5-quart slow cooker to fit all this stuff in.

I used a 6.5-quart slow cooker which had some room left over at the top.

I recommend cooking the stuffing on high heat for 4 hours and stirring it just once halfway through.

Reheat the stuffing on low heat for 1 to 2 hours until its warmed through.

Taking it out will make it harder to reheat.

Also, see to it the stuffing is cooled down before trying to transport it.

The bread should be dry, almost like croutons.

Its okay if some pieces have some browning on them, but not necessary.

Add the sausage to a medium skillet.

Over medium heat, cook the sausage and break it into pieces as it cooks and browns.

Then pour in the chicken stock and set the lid on top.
