OYSTER DRESSING

I have been making this dressing for many years and it is my families all time favorite. It is moist and luscious; cooked in my largest crockpot it puffs up like a beautiful souffle.

4 cups wheat bread, crumbled
4 cups chicken or turkey broth
12 oz. fresh shucked oysters, well drained
6 cups 'Mama Joe's Cornbread"-crumbled
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
4 eggs-well beaten
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
pinch of sage

Combine wheat bread and broth; set aside for 5 minutes. Cut each oyster into quarters. Combine all ingredients; spoon into your largest crockpot. Cook on Low 6 to 8 hours.
