Make classic buttery herb stuffing in your slow cooker to save oven space during busy holidays. This recipe delivers moist stuffing with an option for crispy edges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups cubed day-old bread (about 1 lb loaf)
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  2. In a large bowl, combine bread cubes, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the cooked onion, celery, and garlic mixture to the bread cubes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth and beaten egg.
  5. Pour the broth mixture over the bread mixture and toss gently to combine.
  6. Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased 6-quart slow cooker.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until heated through and moist.
  8. For crispy edges, uncover the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking, or transfer portions to a baking sheet and broil for a few minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • Using day-old bread is key for the right texture.
  • You can add other herbs like rosemary or parsley.
  • For a richer flavor, use half chicken broth and half turkey broth.
  • If you prefer a softer stuffing, add an extra 1/4 cup of broth.
