Spice Up Your Stuffing

For many thanksgivings, the term stuffing in my family has been defined as something that comes from a box and, with a dash of water, becomes a fluffy side to your juicy turkey.

This year, I plan to spice things up a bit by introducing a new contender: Cranberry Pecan Stuffing. By appealing to the sweet and salty taste buds, this slow cooker recipe is sure to be a hit at your dinner table this Thursday. The best part about it is that it only requires a few minutes of prep.

• 12 oz bag of Sage and Onion cubed stuffing

• 1 cup chopped green onions

• 1/2 cup crushed pecans

• 1/2 cup dried cranberries (or craisins)

• 1/2 cup melted butter

• 3 cups chicken broth

• 1 egg (beaten)

• 1/2 tsp. salt

• ½ tsp. pepper

1. Spray the crockpot with cooking oil.

2. Toss the stuffing, green onions, pecans and cranberries into the crockpot.

3. In a separate bowl, mix the butter, broth, egg, salt and pepper together.

4. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and mix everything together.

5. Turn the knob to low and let it cook for 3 1/2 hours.

6. Go spend time with your friends and family, the hard work is over.

Happy Thanksgiving from USFSP Her Campus
