Homemade Crock Pot Stuffing

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups chopped celery
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (sage works as well)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 12 cups cubed white bread, toasted
• 2 cups chicken stock

1. Melt butter.
2. Add celery&onion, saute till tender.
3. Stir in sugar through thyme.
4. (This can be set aside till you need it-refrigerate if overnight) In a large bowl combine your 'prepared ahead' bread cubes and vegetable mixture.
5. Pour in the chicken stock and toss lightly.
6. Spoon into 3-5 quart crock pot.
7. Cook on low 5-6 hours.
8. If it looks a little dry and hour before serving add more chicken broth or drippings if you have them.
9. Our family likes to add sliced hazelnuts and halved brazil nuts-stir them in (to taste) an hour before serving.
