SLOW COOKER SAUSAGE STUFFING

"With slow cooker stuffing, you'll spend less time in the kitchen and more time making memories this holiday season. Place ingredients - including cubed French bread, chicken stock, sausage, celery and onion - into the crock. Add McCormick rosemary and rubbed sage and let the slow cooker work its magic. The result? An aromatic, moist-in-all-the-right-spots stuffing. Yum!"



1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
2 cups chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 pound mild (sweet) Italian sausage, casings removed
1 cup Kitchen Basics Original Chicken Stock
2 teaspoons McCormick Rubbed Sage
1 teaspoon McCormick Crushed Rosemary Leaves
10 cups cubed French bread (1-inch cubes)

Melt butter in large skillet on medium heat. Add celery and onion; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sausage; cook and stir until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

Spray inside of slow cooker with no stick cooking spray. Add stock and herbs; stir to blend. Stir in bread cubes and sausage-vegetable mixture. Cover.

Cook 45 minutes on HIGH. Uncover and stir. Cook, uncovered, 30 minutes longer.
