My favorite stuffing uses a slow cooker, which helps when your oven's busy. It goes with everything from turkey to game hens. —Hope Wasylenki, Gahanna, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 4 bacon strips, chopped
  • 4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 celery ribs, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1-1/2 to 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
  • 1 package (12 ounces) seasoned stuffing cubes
  • 1 package (6 ounces) corn bread stuffing mix

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 1 tablespoon in pan.
  2. Add mushrooms, onion and celery to drippings; cook and stir over medium-high heat 5-6 minutes or until onion is tender.
  3. In a bowl, whisk eggs and 1-1/2 cups broth until blended. In a large bowl, combine stuffing cubes, stuffing mix, bacon and mushroom mixture. Stir in egg mixture and enough additional broth to reach desired moistness.
  4. Transfer to a greased 6-qt. slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until heated through and edges are lightly browned, stirring once.
