    Here's a delicious crock pot dressing recipe:

    1 8 inch pan of cornbread
    8 slices of day old bread
    4 eggs
    1/2 cup celery, chopped and sauteed
    1 medium onion, chopped and sauteed
    1 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp black pepper
    1 1/2 tsp sage or poultry seasoning
    2 cans chream of chicken soup
    2 cans chicken broth
    2 tbs butter

    Crumble breads. Add all ingredients except butter. Pour into the crockpot and dot with butter. Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 3-4 hours. Makes 16 (6 oz) servings.

    I like to stew a fryer and use the meat and broth in the recipe.

    The stuffing I grew up with (I'm a northerner) had bread, sausage, onion, celery and corn in it. Plenty of spiciness in the sausage, so no need to add more.

    I was soooo excited to be having Thanksgiving dinner a friends family when I was in college, my folks were traveling and being with a family was great. They served up the dinner and I took a huge portion of stuffing (as I've said I LOVE stuffing)...took a BIG bite and almost gagged, who puts oysters in stuffing???? So there I was, huge portion on my plate trying to figure out how I was going to choke down stuffing with fishy stuff in it, I was so sad about that...although their beagle was tickled pink with the under-the-table buffet.

    Queen -

    LOL! I can imagine that would be an unpleasant surprise if one wasn't expecting it

    I didn't like it *at all* as a child, but now I make it as a separate dish

    Queen, that's so funny.

    I had an aunt from upstare NY who made regular bread dressing. I remember when I was little I couldn't figure out why hers was so different.

    That's four cans of liquid. I'm a big fan of the crockpot but this just doesn't sound right for dressing.

    Doesn't it come out all gloppy?

    Pickled Peaches (spiced peaches). Boy I miss those. They were always on my grandmother's table at Thanksgiving or Christmas, in a pretty crystal serving dish.

    Zen - the crock pot recipe - two of those soup cans are condensed soups, which are pretty viscous, so I don't think the recipe would be that gloppy.

    I buy a bag of seasoned croutons and some red box stuffing, cook up the celery and onion in lots o' butter, add some water and pour over the croutons and red box contents and I do add a can of drained minced clams. Bake fast and furious so the outside is crisp and crunchy and the inside is moist, its gone in no time.

    Why oh why do people put fishy things in something as glorious as stuffing??
