Slow Cooked Chorizo, Pecan and Cheddar Stuffing

One Thanksgiving we decided to fry a turkey leaving me with a challenge on how to prepare the stuffing. This was a huge hit. Thanks Atlanta Journal Food Section!

  • 1 tbsp. oil

  • 1 lb. chorizo sausage, casing removed, crumbled

  • 1 cup chopped onion

  • 1½ cups sliced celery (about 3 stalks)

  • 2 (7 oz.) pkgs. seasoned corn bread stuffing crumbs

  • ⅓ cup butter, melted

  • ½ tsp. rubbed sage

  • ¼ tsp. pepper

  • 2-3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

  • In a skillet over medium heat, add oil. Cook sausage, onion and celery 8 to 10 mins., stirring occasionally until sausage is no longer pink and vegetables have softened. Drain excess oil. in a 4-5 qt. slow cooker, place sausage mixture, stuffing crumbs, butter, sage and pepper. Pour 2 cups broth over mixture and toss to combine. Cover and cook on low heat setting 3-3½ hrs. adding more broth if necessary for desired texture. Gently stir in cheese and pecans.

  • Serve or keep warm in cooker for up to 1 hr.
