Crock-pot Stuffing

Here's a tasty stuffing recipe that uses a hint of soy sauce to create a winning combination with either rice or mashed potatoes.  I know my grandmother always made her Thanksgiving meal with a pot of rice, and there was something about her stuffing that made it seem perfectly normal. I'm not sure if she put soy sauce in her stuffing too; but I wouldn't be surprised if she did.  Chef Azuki's stuffing was a hit with my family as we enjoyed roasted chicken, stuffing and rice!  A perfect autumn night's feast!

Crock-pot Stuffing

Ingredients:

1 lb sage sausage

1 box Stuffing mix

1 onion finely chopped

2 stalks of celery chopped

1 can low sodium chicken broth

1/4 C unsalted butter

1/2 C chopped pecans

1 Tbsp soy sauce (shoyu)

Directions:

1.  Brown the sausage in a frying pan

2.  Add Chicken broth, pecans, onion, celery, pecans and browned sausage to a crock-pot

3.  Add melted butter and soy sauce and stir

4.  Slowly stir in stuffing mix until broth is absorbed and other ingredients are dispersed evenly

5.  Heat on high for 1 1/2 hours

Turn setting to warm and serve.  It was so delicious the pecans and celery created the perfect
texture.  Using the crock-pot will make serving warm stuffing a breeze.  I'm making this stuffing for Thanksgiving!
