On Thanksgiving morning, simply mix your ingredients, put them in the slow cooker, and let it do the work for you. You could also make it a day ahead and simply reheat on low in the slow cooker, or even freeze it further in advance. Aside from the turkey, the dressing (or stuffing, if you prefer) is the other mainstay dish on most Thanksgiving tables, and many families have tried-and-true dressing recipes that they use every year. Dressing is the perfect Thanksgiving meal accompaniment because it tastes good with every other side dish, and of course, the perfect bite of dressing has a piece of turkey attached, too. We have a feeling that this easy slow cooker cornbread dressing recipe will be a new annual tradition at your family's Thanksgiving dinner.

Between the sweet potato casserole (amongst other side dishes), the cranberry salad, and multiple dessert options, you've got a lot to get together for this one meal. This slow-cooker cornbread dressing achieves the same classic Southern flavor you crave with so much less effort. You might even be able to kick up your feet and watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade—imagine the possibilities!
