Gobble, Gobble...

We're preparing for Journey Thanksgiving which is tomorrow evening. This is our first big holiday meal as a church, so needless to say...we're excited! I'm making all of the dressing, so come tomorrow morning, my kitchen will smell like Thanksgiving! I'm making my Mom's crockpot dressing (4 crockpots to be exact) and it's SO GOOD. It's easy too, so if you've never made dressing, try this recipe...you won't be disappointed!

Crockpot Dressing

Ingredients:

1 stick butter

1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery

3 slices of bread

3 biscuits

2 tsp. sage

1 can chicken broth

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 (9 inch) pan of cornbread

1 sleeve saltine crackers

4 cups chicken broth (from your cooked chicken)

4 eggs, beaten

1/2 tsp. baking powder

3-4 cups cooked chicken

Directions:

Saute celery & onion in butter.

Crumble breads (bread, biscuits, crackers, cornbread) & mix together.

Pour celery & onion mixture over breads.

Add sage, salt & pepper.

Beat eggs with chicken broth - add to bread mixture.

Add baking powder & remaining broth.

Add chicken and lightly ladle mixture into crockpot (spray crockpot w/Pam)

Cook 1 hour on high and then 4-6 hours on low. DO NOT STIR.

Don't be alarmed that it seems 'runny' when you first put it into the crockpot, it will set up nicely and all of the liquid is what keeps it nice and moist.

*If by chance, you don't have enough chicken broth from your cooked chicken - just substitute canned chicken broth*

I know it sounds like a LONG recipe but I cook my chicken, cornbread, biscuits and chop onion and celery the night before, so really all you have to do is mix everything together and put it into the crockpot the next morning. It's nice because you just put it in and let it cook all day!

Looking forward to my first of three Thanksgiving meals, tomorrow night! :)

Love to all,

Jill
