Sausage Herb Stuffing

I love everything about the food at Thanksgiving. The turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and one of my favorite parts is the stuffing! When you add the sausage, celery, carrots, onion, and fresh herbs, and spices you create an unforgettable stuffing. Something about making it in the slow cooker fuses all of the flavors together. The veggies cook up so soft and tender and the result is absolutely amazing. The edges get crispy and the stuffing is perfectly moist and full of flavor. For many of us, Thanksgiving is a busy holiday of getting here or there. That is why this recipe is perfect for this holiday! Not only is it a classic dish that you see made at every Thanksgiving dinner but it can be made in your slow cooker! This makes it so easy to transport! Or, if you are hosting then this will free up your oven for all of the other food! It slow cooks to perfection adding crispy edges and will be the best stuffing that you will ever make!
