I don't ever do dressing for Thanksgiving, instead my tradional dish is kasha varnishkas with lots of mushrooms. Most guests who've never tried it love it, and much prefer it to the usual bread based dressing. Kasha varnishkas is my signature dish, I have it down to a science, since my mother passed no one does it better.

I guess begging would do no good, right? I love kasha varnishkas, but I am sure nothing I have ever cooked (in the distant past) or eaten comes close to your version.

I make dressing in the Crockpot. Been doing it this way for the last few years. It's always turned out very well.
Does it form a crust on the bottom sides and top? Thanks!
Absolutely! I wouldn't prepare it that way if it didn't. 😉 It gets crispy on the top and sides, and the rest is nice and moist. I prefer it to oven-baked dressing, and it frees up the oven for other side dishes.
Oh, my gosh. Please tell you you've already posted your method, or will post it for me!
It's a 4-quart pot. I saute the veggies and mix up the dressing first thing Thanksgiving morning. Put it all in the Crockpot, set it on High, and let it cook for about 4 hours. (Dinner is usually around 1:00 p.m. because our close friends--with whom we've shared Turkey Day for the last 11 years--live a couple of hours away and have to get home before dark to feed all the animals on their ranch...)

Oops, I didn't see this before I posted. Thanks!

The only CrockPot I have is one of the old style "taller than wide" models. I wonder if it would work as well in that? One of the things I like most about dressing is getting some of the crust. :-)
