This delicious post is all about the STUFFING STUFFING STUFFING and it’s sponsored by Jones Dairy Farm!
I really mean business with this Thanksgiving stuff now.
Beyond any shadow of a doubt, stuffing is my absolute all time favorite of the Thanksgiving foods.
Turkey and mashed potatoes are good, but it’s not really Thanksgiving to me without the cozy herbed bread cubes baked into that crispy, dense texture that only stuffing can have.
And even though stuffing works any time of year and it’s one of my favorite foods evvv-errr, somehow Thanksgiving is really the only time of year that feels appropriate to eat this carby goodness. Fellow stuffingers, the time is now. Please don’t waste one more second of this precious stuffing season eating anything other than stuffing. Agreed?
This particular stuffing is made with pears and dried cranberries for two reasons: a pop of gorgeous color (wheeee!) and a zing of sweetness (whoaaa!). The savory herbs with the bread and the sausage make a perfect comfy bed for those pears and cranberries to hibernate in all through the day of Thanksgiving prep.
And by the time everyone is ready to eat, the pear and cranberry sweetness has seeped right on into the savory, making that salty-sweet stuffing combo that’s all like MORE MORE MORE.

Is this recipe still worth making without the sausage?
Iād love the slow cooker sausage stuffing recipe!
I cannot wait to try this!!
This looks ama
did not see the recipe at all just a bunch of adds
Recipe may be great, but how annoying is it to click a link from one site just to get to an ad-filled page you have to sort through to find (maybe) the recipe you are interested in.
thanks for sharig this recipe … my son and wife liked so much..
So happy to hear this!
Pears? What a great idea! Can’t wait to try it.
Enjoy, Bill!
That you didnāt actually give the recipe, but redirected me to yet another site, was… disappointing.
This is an old recipe and as such the linked site is no longer available! Any way you’d repost the recipe on your own site? I’d LOVE to make this stuffing this year! Thanks!
Hi, Amy! Just updated the link. š
Where the heck are the recipes? I HATE sites like this that you have to DIG around and click this page and that page to find the freaking recipe! I will find it elsewhere.
I made this for Thansgiving, it was super easy. I was amazed at the fact the top layer was crunchy and the inside was moist. I did not use the sausage however; I did fry up a pound of bacon and crumbled it on the top before serving. Be careful, the pears will be hot. I did them in 1 inch chunks, I’m going to make this for Christmas but cut the pears smaller. One guest actually went back for seconds and only filled his plate with the stuffing. I had 8 people over and very little left over. Delicious!
I really like the recipe and intend to fix it this Thanksgiving. The recipe calls for cored and diced pears. It doesn’t mention peeling the pears. So, I just want to make sure that I don’t peel the pears. Right? My initial reaction is that peeled pears might disintegrate while cooking. Thanks!
No, don’t peel the pears, just wash them good and be sure they aren’t too ripe. They’ll cook enough in the crock pot and retain their shape. Too ripe and it’ll end up mushy.
Nice sponsored post that doesnāt even have the recipe in the post you hack.
Where’s the recipe? Can’t find it.
The recipe wouldn’t open on the other website . . . any way to post the recipe here? Thanks!
what size slow cooker do you need for this? thnx~
Hi, Tara! This was made in a 6-qt slow cooker.
Our family recipe for stuffing has sausage in it and I’m not a huge fan of it. My sister is a vegetarian so I was looking for something she’d like too. I just made this without the sausage. We LOVED it!!! So very moist and flavorful. She said she’s never had vegetarian stuffing that was moist. Thanks for another great recipe!
That’s awesome! I’m so happy to hear that. Thanks so much Dori!
This looks amazing and I plan to make for our Thanksgiving this year. What size crock pot did you use?
My slow cooker is usually reserved for the mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving, but it just might have to switch jobs this yearā¦never thought of it for stuffing! Which definitely IS the best part of the meal. Happy Thanksgiving! š
Wow, I like it! And, I’m with you on stuffing being the best of the Thanksgiving Day feast. It is not Thanksgiving without the stuffing! My kids would hate me forever if I left out the stuffing. š
I think slow cooker dressing is sooooo much moister than bake in the oven. Gosh all the
those dressing recipes in one spot—-awesome. I think it’s an underused side dish. Sausage dressings are my all time favorite type. This is an excellent version.
Thank you Carol!
Lindsay,
I don’t like this whole “click on this, then click on that, then click on the next thing” approach even one little bit. I like your recipes on YOUR site and that’s it. There’s my two cents.
Forgive me for my candor, as I get awfully emotional about stuffing. It is absolutely one of my top-ten favorite foods and I take it very seriously.
Jammy
Oh, Jamster. You’re somethin else. š
Do you know if there is a problem on the Jones site, I click on the recipe and the screen just goes dark…..I can’t get to it. This recipe looks amazing by the way…Is it printed any where else?
thanks
Shoot! which one are you clicking on? they are both working for me.
That stuffing looks very similar to my mother-in-law’s…it’s the only stuffing I’ll eat!! Love the addition of pear, though š
