Instructions
Creating Slow Cooker Bacon-Mushroom Dressing is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Cook Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the onions are tender and mushrooms begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with the cooked bacon, bread cubes, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine evenly.
4. Add Broth: Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the mixture and stir gently to incorporate, ensuring all bread is coated.
5. Transfer to Slow Cooker: Transfer the mixture to your slow cooker and spread it evenly.
6. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the dressing is heated through and flavors meld together.
7. Garnish: Once finished cooking, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
These easy steps will guide you to create a wonderful Slow Cooker Bacon-Mushroom Dressing that your family and friends will rave about.
