Slow Cooker Stuffing is your sanity saviour for a holiday meal, or heck even just a Sunday turkey dinner. I love that you put it into the crockpot in the morning and by the time your turkey is ready, your stuffing is as well. I don’t stuff my turkeys, I prefer to make the stuffing on the side and this is the perfect way to make it!

Which Crockpot should I use to Make Slow Cooker Stuffing?
For making slow cooker stuffing you are going to need a LARGE crockpot so we recommend a 6-8 quart oval shaped crockpot (slow cooker) such as the one pictured below. While this recipe will certainly work in other styles, this one affords the right amount of space for just the right amount of food. This is a large capacity crockpot at 8 quarts – if you are serious about slow cooking then this baby is affordable, has amazing reviews and is beautiful!

Tips & Tricks for Making Amazing Slow Cooker Stuffing
- Make sure that you fully cook the onions before you add them! Onions are notorious for staying hard and not cooking unless they are cooked in the frying pan fully!
- You can use almost any type of sausage that you want to! If you want it spicy use your favourite spicy Italian sausage.
- Don’t skip the apple! It really makes this slow cooker stuffing sweet and savoury!
