Stuffing is a holiday staple at many dinner tables, whether it is stuffed into a bird or just eaten on the side. This is the classic way to cook stuffing that is filled with herbs and spices that immediately make you think of the holidays. You don’t have to wait until the holidays roll around to enjoy this stuffing; the ingredients are everyday items you can get at your supermarket anytime. Now that you can cook it in the slow cooker, you have no excuse not to enjoy a taste of the holidays all year round.
