If you're hosting a big Thanksgiving dinner this year, add this simple slow-cooked stuffing to your menu to ease entertaining. The recipe comes in handy when you run out of oven space at large family gatherings. I use this Crock Pot dressing recipe often. —Donald Seiler, Macon, Mississippi

  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup butter

  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. In a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook onion and celery in butter until tender.
