Recipe FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
To make the stuffing ahead of time, complete the steps until you put the mixture in the crock pot. Instead, cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to cook.
How do I know when the stuffing is done?
You’ll know the stuffing is ready when it is set, and moist but not soggy.
Can I add sausage or other ingredients?
Yes, feel free to adjust to your liking. Cooked sausage, mushrooms, or even cranberries would be delicious additions.
