Author Notes: Making stuffing can be tricky. In the bird, you risk it not coming to proper temperature. Outside the bird, it takes up precious oven space. What if you can solve both problems and still have moist, delicious stuffing with a crispy crust? Enter the crockpot. This recipe is brilliant and it yields the traditional stuffing you are accustomed to. Best of all, you can make it any time of year, including summer. I have had this recipe for years. Not sure where it originated from. So while I don’t take credit for it, I do pass it on with the confidence that you will enjoy it as much as I do. —janet voris
