Crock Pot Stuffing
A hands-off, savory stuffing recipe made in the slow cooker that frees up oven space and keeps the stuffing moist and flavorful.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 slices slices of white sandwich bread, torn into chunks Stale bread works best to hold up in the heat.
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup butter An unholy amount for flavor, don't skimp.
- 1 cup chicken broth Moisten, don’t drown. Taste before adding.
- 2 large eggs, beaten Optional, for firmness.
- 1 tbsp sage, dried or fresh Herb for flavor.
- 1 tbsp thyme, dried or fresh Herb for flavor.

Instructions
Preparation
- Tear the bread into haphazard chunks and place them in a large bowl.
- Sauté the chopped celery and onion in butter until soft and fragrant.
- Pour the sautéed vegetables over the torn bread.
- Sprinkle in the herbs, salt, and pepper, mixing gently.
- Drizzle the chicken broth around the edge of the bowl and mix until moistened.
- Add beaten eggs if you want a firmer texture and mix gently.
Cooking
- Transfer the mixture into the slow cooker, spreading evenly without packing tightly.
- Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours, giving it a gentle fluff occasionally.
- Check for doneness; it should be golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
Notes
Let bread dry out before using to prevent mushiness. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning. Mixing should be gentle to avoid heavy stuffing.
