• If you like your dressing extra moist, add a bit more broth before cooking.
• Taste the mixture before cooking and adjust salt, pepper, or poultry seasoning to your liking.
• You can assemble everything the night before and refrigerate — just let it sit at room temp for about 30 minutes before turning on the slow cooker.
