Recipe(tried): Crockpot Stuffing - 2 ways

A number of years ago the original recipe was shown on a local talk show. Since I have a small oven this was the answer to my space problem.

Following cooking rules I tried the original first. It was not to my liking. But the method had great promise. So I modified the recipe with the ingredients I have always used in my oven baked stuffing (even people who don't like stuffing always liked it.)

CROCKPOT DRESSING (Original)

Saute together:
1 onion chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
4 oz. sliced mushrooms
1 lb. turkey sausage, hot

Put in greased crockpot and stir lightly:
1-14 oz bag Stuffing ,cubes
meat mixture
12 oz grated mozzarella cheese
1 can chicken stock

Set crockpot on high 2 to 6 hr.

MY VERSION:
1 onion, 4 stalks celery, 1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage, sage
1 (14 oz) bag stuffing cubes,
1 can golden mushroom soup, 1/2 can water.
Mix together put in greased crockpot.
Set on high 2 to 6 hours.

My version also works very well, if you just have to put it in the bird.
