I made this for Thanksgiving and there was none of it leftover! I made this without the Pecans and the only problem I found was it did end up a little mushy at the end. I would take the lid off for a short time before serving.

Would make this again because it's a great stuffing recipe to make in the crock pot. Prep was quick and end result very flavorful

This is my families favorite. If you wish to make this ahead of time I would recommend the following:

1. Precook the sausage and veggies the day before.

2. refrigerate overnite in the crock pot if you like.

3. assemble the bread cubes ( I have used both the packaged seasoned bread cubes and a loaf of day-old bread) with the pre-cooked items, broth, and seasonings in the crock pot on Thanksgiving morn.

If you combine it the day before I think it will break down too much a

I wonder if the dressing can be made the day ahead, put in the crock pot, ref. and cooked on Thanksgiving day.

I wonder if you could use cornbread instead of the bread cubes? Has anyone tried that?
