KyleMit's answer is using a table that will be deprecated soon as well. It is recommended to use sys.sql_experssion_dependencies instead of sys.sql_dependencies, e.g.,

SELECT DISTINCT p.name AS proc_name, t.name AS table_name
FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies d
INNER JOIN sys.procedures p ON p.object_id = d.referencing_id
INNER JOIN sys.tables t     ON t.object_id = d.referenced_id
ORDER BY proc_name, table_name

This should work with SQL Server 2008+.
