1. Traditional Holiday Stuffing

No Thanksgiving spread is complete without stuffing. The Chic Site’s variation incorporates all the staple ingredients of the dish, relying on notes of thyme and sage for a distinct and subtle finish. This stuffing requires about 4 to 5 hours in the crockpot before dinner, so try to finish your preparation by around lunchtime on Thanksgiving Day (depending on when your guests plan to eat, of course). The addition of a foil ring to your crockpot will help prevent burning (details on this below). Recipe yields 5 to 6 servings and can be doubled easily.

Ingredients:

1 pound white sandwich bread, cut into bite-size cubes
1 (8-ounce) breakfast sausage, removed from casing
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
¾ cups celery ribs, split down the middle and chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried sage)
1½ cups reduced sodium chicken broth
1 large egg
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon black pepper
Chopped chives, thyme, and sage, as garnish
Directions: Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Place cut bread on a baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until bread is stale and dried out. Toss bread midway through baking to ensure even cooking. Alternatively, cut bread ahead of time and leave out on counter for a day or two to dry out. Place bread in a large bowl. Set aside.

Grab a long piece of foil. Fold it a couple of times over itself to create a band. Line the sides of the slow cooker pot with the foil. Lightly coat with nonstick spray.

In a large skillet, heat about 1 tablespoon of oil. Add breakfast sausage (removed from casing). Cook until sausage is brown and cooked throughout. As sausage is cooking, break into small chunks using a wooden spoon. Drain cooked sausage and add to bread. Keep all the browned bits in the pan.

Using the same pan you cooked sausage in, add butter and set over medium heat. Once butter has melted, add onions and celery. Cook until onions have softened. Add chopped thyme and sage. Toss to combine and cook until herbs are aromatic. Add about ⅓ cup of chicken broth. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any of the browned bits of sausage on the bottom of the pan. Cook until broth comes to a boil. Remove from heat and pour mixture on top of bread-sausage mixture.

In another bowl, whisk together remaining chicken broth, egg, and salt and pepper. Pour over bread mixture and gently toss to combine. Make sure all the bread pieces are coated.

Transfer mixture to prepared slow cooker pot. Cover and cook for 4 to 5 hours on low setting. Make sure mixture has reached temperature of at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure egg is cooked. Turn off slow cooker and remove foil. Transfer stuffing to serving dish. Garnish with additional herbs.
