Make classic buttery herb stuffing in your slow cooker to save oven space during holiday meals. This recipe delivers delicious flavor with crispy edges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 cups cubed day-old bread (about 1012 slices)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 large egg, lightly 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, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes and the cooked onion mixture.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth and beaten egg. Pour over the bread mixture and toss gently to combine.
  4. Transfer the stuffing mixture to a lightly greased 6-quart slow cooker.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, until heated through and the edges are slightly crispy. For crispier edges, you can remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Notes

  • Using day-old bread is key for the best texture.
  • You can add other herbs like rosemary or parsley if desired.
  • For a richer flavor, use turkey broth instead of chicken broth.
  • To make ahead, prepare the stuffing mixture up to the point of adding the broth and egg, then store covered in the refrigerator. Add the liquid ingredients just before cooking.
