Can the dressing be cooked in a crockpot and if so, how long?
Author
Hi Angie,
Thank you for contacting us. In response to your question. You can prepare the stuffing in a crock pot. Compared to oven baking, there will be a difference. As a result of not being baked in an oven, the top will be less crispy, and the cube structure won’t be as firm. However, the stuffing will remain delicious and flavorful.

Any tips on cooking this in a crockpot instead? While I am use to oven baked stuffing, I’m going to inlaws’ and they like stovetop/pot cooked stuffing.

Can raw chicken thighs be cooked on top of stuffing in the oven – chicken/stuffing casserole?
Thank you
Can your Cook Top Stuffing Mix be used to stuff a turkey. Does this also need to be cooked a day ahead, or can I cook and cool just before stuffing the bird?
Author
Hi Irene,
Yes, our Cook Top Stuffing Mix can be used to stuff a turkey. You do not need to prepare it a day in advance. It is important that the stuffing be put into the turkey cold.

Can I bake chicken on top of dressing in oven?
Author
It is a pleasure to hear from you, Jerome. Our understanding of your question isn’t clear. Do you want to use cooked chicken or raw chicken?
I like to cook my stuffing inside the bird. How can I do this? Can I assemble stuffing ahead of time, refrigerate and stuff and roast bird next day? I do this with regular non-gluten free (Pepperidge Farm Stuffing) but am trying your stuffing because I have a grandchild on a gluten-free diet. Thank you.

Yes! Just a couple tips for you; the stuffing should go into the turkey cold. You can also make it a day ahead so the flavors can meld.
• Prepare the stuffing using our directions for oven baking.
• After it comes out of the oven, let cool in the baking dish or spread it out on a sheet tray to cool.
• Spoon the prepared stuffing in the turkey just before roasting.
• Pack it very loosely.
• Stuffing should be 165° in the center when done.
If you have any extra stuffing put it into a buttered baking dish and heat it up in the oven. We recommend you keep it covered the entire time and remove the foil 10 to 15 minutes at the end of the reheat.
*An easy alternative is to cook the dressing separately and then spoon it into the cooked turkey when it’s resting.
Are you saying that we need to bake the stuffing BEFORE we stuff the cold turkey then let it cook again with the turkey?

Is it possible to add an egg or two to the suffing mix?
Author
Hi Judith,
You can add eggs if you like but we don’t think it’s necessary. We have added egg whites to our mini stuffing muffin recipe to help bind the mixture because of the size. If you have a family recipe that adds eggs our stuffing cubes can certainly adapt to your recipe!
Happy baking!
How many cups of stuffing does this make? Is there anything I can substitute for the butter, such as olive oil?
Author
Hi Deborah,
Thank you for contacting us! To answer your question; if you prepare the recipe using the oven baking directions on the box, it will make 15 cups of prepared stuffing. If you add other ingredients such as sausage, chestnuts, cranberries, mushrooms etc., it will yield another cup or two.
If you are looking for a dairy free substitution we recommend Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread made with olive oil.
