Italian Sausage Ciabatta Stuffing

Stuffing takes an Italian turn with sweet pork sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, crusty ciabatta and Parmesan cheese. But the secret ingredient that makes this stuffing extra special is the ...

Directions

Cook the sausage, onion and garlic in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the sausage is well browned, stirring often to separate meat.  Remove the skillet from the heat.  Stir in the broth, salt, black pepper, peppers and sun-dried tomatoes.

Mix the bread, parsley and cheese in a large bowl.  Add the sausage mixture and toss to coat.

Layer and/or fold heavy-duty aluminum foil to create a 6-layer rectangle, about 16 inches long by 4 inches wide.  Press the foil rectangle lengthwise into a 6-quart slow cooker to line the side of the insert opposite the control panel (this is where the heating element usually is- the foil will help distribute the heat).  Spoon the stuffing mixture into the cooker.

Cover and cook on LOW for 3 hours.  Serve immediately or cover and keep on WARM for up to 2 hours.  Stir lightly before serving.
