284/365 a what's for dinner Sunday...

switching it up a bit as I have a great recipe to share today

and tomorrow's plan is left overs!

For our Thanksgiving feast, Scott was responsible for the BBQ turkey

and I was on crockpot stuffing duty.

Now, my usual stuffing is full of apples, raisins and bacon

and done inside a turkey

but due to allergies and our turkey being BBQ'd

I needed to do some "googling" and I found a...

Crockpot Stuffing recipe on "All Recipes"

As you know stuffing is one of my all time favourite dishes

so I was a bit worried if a combination of a new recipe

and cooking out in the middle of nowhere was going

to spell a culinary disaster but it was some of the best

stuffing I have ever had.

ingredients:

1 cup butter*2 cups chopped onion*2 cups chopped celery*1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley*1 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms* 12 cups dry bread cubes*1 tsp poultry seasoning*1 tsp thyme*1/2 tsp dried rosemary* approx. 4 1/2 cups chicken broth* 2 eggs beaten

the how:

MELT butter in large skillet

ADD and COOK onion, celery, mushrooms and parsley (STIR frequently)

MEANWHILE, in a very large bowl

COMBINE bread crumbs and all spices

POUR cooked vegetables over top of the breadcrumbs and MIX

ADD enough broth to moisten

MIX in eggs,

TRANSFER to 4 qt crock pot.

COOK on high for 45 minutes, then REDUCE heat to low

COOK for 4-8 hours (mine cooked for 5 hours)

SERVES 16 (or 12 if you are having me over for dinner)
