Any Day Thanksgiving Dinner- Cornish Hens

This is an easy way to have a little Thanksgiving dinner on any day of the year.

Stuffed Cornish Game Hens in the Crock Pot


Ingredients:
  • 2 Cornish hens
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can of chicken broth 
  • 1/4th of an onion minced
  • A few dashes of country herbs (I have a pre-made mix that comes in a grinder/shaker)
  • I also added some fresh chives from my herb garden
  • Box of stuffing mix 

Directions:
  • Mix your mushroom soup, chicken broth, and herbs in a bowl, until it is a uniform consistency. 
  • Prepare your stuffing mix according to the box, then stuff it into your hens.
  • Place your stuffed hens into the crock pot. 
  • Pour your soup mixture over the hens. 
  • Sprinkle your onion on top of and surrounding your hens.
  • Cook your hens on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 5-6 hours.  
  • I turned mine over about half way through cook time to ensure even cooking. 
  • Plate and spoon gravy over the hen.   
                                        

Crock pot cooking these, in the sauce, renders them VERY tender!  The meat will literally fall off the bones. Enjoy!
