Ingredients

  • 1 Cake of Cornbread crumbled (about 6½ cups)
  • 1 cup Celery diced
  • 1 Small Onion diced
  • 10.5 ounce Cream of Celery Soup undiluted
  • 10.5 ounce Cream of Chicken Soup undiluted
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon Freshly Cracked Black Pepper or to taste
  • tablespoon Poultry Seasoning I use McCormick, or to taste
  • ½ tablespoon Ground Sage optional, or to taste
  • cups Chicken Stock or broth
  • 3 Large Eggs slightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons Butter cut into small cubes

Instructions

  • Preheat the Crock Pot crockery on the low setting.
  • Crumble the cornbread into a large mixing bowl.
  • Next, add the diced celery, diced onion, creamed soups, chicken stock and seasonings to the cornbread; stir to combine.
  • Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
  • Next, add the beaten eggs and stir to combine with the cornbread mixture.
  • Lightly spray the crockery with non-stick cooking spray then transfer the cornbread dressing mixture into the pre-heated crockery.
  • Add butter pieces to the top of the cornbread mixture, cover with the lid then cook on the low setting for 4 hours.
  • When done, the Crock Pot setting may be lowered to "warm" and the cornbread dressing served straight from the slow cooker.

Notes

The cornbread can be made a few days in advance and stored wrapped in plastic wrap on the countertop or made weeks ahead and frozen until needed.
The cornbread dressing mixture can be made the day before and refrigerated overnight until ready to cook. Give the mixture a stir before adding to the Crock Pot for cooking.
