Dressing Cooked In A Crock Pot

Hello to all you Foodies out there in webland I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving.  I'm in DC at my son's.  DC is a wonderful place to visit during the holidays.  There is so much to see and do. I think we have eaten at almost every resturant on 8th street.   I hope all the dishes you made for your family and friends were out of sight.  I on the other hand did no cooking.  Chris did it all.  When he cooks you can't even put your foot on the tile in the kitchen.  Ever know anyone like that?  He made Turkey and Mushroom Dressing, Roasted Corn, Gravy, cooked Cranberry Sauce, and of course Green Bean Cassarole.  He did something that I have never heard of before he cooked his dressing in the crock pot and it came out moist just like it had been cooked inside the turkey.  He mixed his dressing and then he buttered the pot and cooked it for 1 hour on high and then cookd it on low for about 4 hours,  So if you are short onoven space you could use the crock pot for your dressing for Christmas.  The recipe for his dressing is below.
