I just volunteered to bring stuffing to work next week. Is there a recipe for DCB stuffing in the microwave? Oven space will be very limited or nonexistent that day. I found one with chicken, but someone else is bringing the chicken.

TIA!
 
just use the regular microwave directions for stovetop - thats what I would do :D
 
There was a really great recipe last year for stuffing in the DCB. I think it was in the catalog for last F/W, actually. I'll have to see if I can dig it up.

That was my thought too, Shelby. I may experiment with it this week. Thanks Becky! I would love to have it.
 
Is this the one that used to be in the catty? It's on CC in searchable recipes.

Sausage and Apple Herbed Stuffing

1/2 lb bulk pork sausage
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups sliced celery
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 package (14 ounces) herb-seasoned cubed stuffing
1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 cup coarsely chopped apples
1 tbsp Rosemary Herb Seasoning Mix
2 cans (14.5 oz each) chicken broth

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place sausage into (10-in.) Skillet; cook over medium heat 3-5 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles. Remove Skillet from heat and transfer sausage to paper towel-lined plate. (Do not drain Skillet.)

Add butter to Skillet; heat over medium heat 1-3 minutes or until foamy. Add celery and onion; cook and stir 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

In Stainless (6-qt.) Mixing Bowl, combine stuffing, cranberries, apples, seasoning mix and sausage. Add vegetable mixture and broth; toss until moistened.

Spoon stuffing into Deep Covered Baker. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Carefully remove lid using Oven Mitts, lifting away from you; bake an additional 30 minutes or until stuffing is golden brown and heated through.

This sounds yummy! Thanks!
 
I don't have the rosemary seasoning for this recipe. It's the one seasoning I don't own of PC's. What would be a good substitute? How much?

Do you have the lemon & rosemary rub?

Or what about dried rosemary, or dried sage, or dried thyme?
 
Thanks! I hadn't thought about our new lemon & rosemary dipping seasoning. I do have that. At first I was thinking that the lemon might not be good, but when I looked up what is in the rosemary herb seasoning, it lists lemon in there. :D Do you think I should add a sprinkle of thyme to it, since that's not listed as being in the dipping seasoning?
