This code recursively looks at every Stored Procedure in your Stored Procedure and gives you the full list of all tables used.

    declare @sp_name varchar(100)
    declare @curSpName varchar(100)
    declare @curObjName varchar(255)
    declare @curXType varchar(1)

    create table #tmpTables

    proc_name varchar(255),
    table_name varchar(255)
    )

    set @sp_name = 'STORED_PROCEDURE_NAME'

    o.name AS proc_name, oo.name AS table_name, oo.type AS xType,

    FROM sysdepends d 
    INNER JOIN sysobjects o ON o.id=d.id
    INNER JOIN sysobjects oo ON oo.id=d.depid
    WHERE o.xtype = 'P'
    --and oo.type = 'U' --Tables
    and o.name = @sp_name)
    SELECT proc_name, table_name, xType, 'N' Processed into ##tmpSP
    FROM stored_procedures 
    WHERE row = 1
    --ORDER BY proc_name,table_name

    While (Select count(*) from ##tmpSP where Processed = 'N')  0
