Make classic, flavorful stuffing in your slow cooker to save oven space during holiday cooking. This recipe yields moist stuffing with optional crispy edges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 cups dry bread cubes (about 1 standard loaf)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. Place the bread cubes in a very large bowl.
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery. Cook until soft, about 8 minutes.
  3. Stir the cooked vegetables, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper into the bread cubes. Mix well to coat the bread evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the broth and eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread mixture. Gently toss everything until the bread is evenly moistened. Do not overmix.
  5. Lightly grease the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the slow cooker and press it down lightly.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, or on HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours. The stuffing is done when it is heated through and moist.
  7. For crispy edges, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
  8. Serve directly from the slow cooker.

Notes

  • You can assemble this make ahead stuffing mixture the day before and store it, covered, in the refrigerator. Add 30 minutes to the cooking time if cooking directly from cold.
  • If you prefer a drier texture, reduce the broth by 1/4 cup.
  • This slow cooker stuffing is perfect for feeding a crowd.
