Slow Cooker Cornbread Stuffing

No ratings yet

Comfort food can be healthy!

Nothing says “comfort food” like Cornbread Stuffing, just like the kind Grandma used to make. Our slow cooker cornbread stuffing is even easier though! This tasty recipe keeps things simple by not going overboard with unneeded ingredients. Chicken broth keeps the stuffing moist and flavorful, while celery gives it a nice crunch. If prefer a vegetarian version, just replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth.

Serve up a batch of our Cornbread Stuffing with our Herb Crusted Turkey Breast and Cranberry Sauce for dinner, and get your sweet on with our Skinny Pecan Pie for dessert.

    1. Susanne, There definitely are GF bread crumbs. It might be easier to find GF Panko style bread crumbs, Ian’s brand is good. Of course, you can make you own.
