This slow cooker stuffing is the perfect holiday side dish. Made with a combination of bread, vegetables, and spices, it is packed with flavor and has a moist, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The slow cooker allows the ingredients to meld together and creates an incredibly tasty stuffing. Prep it in the morning and let it cook all day for a stress-free Thanksgiving or Christmas meal. Your guests will be asking for seconds!

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf of crusty bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 stalks of celery, diced
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup of mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
  • 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion, celery, garlic, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes, cooked vegetables, sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the broth and eggs. Pour the mixture over the bread mixture and stir until everything is well combined and the bread cubes are evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a greased slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours, or until the stuffing is cooked through and has a slightly crisp top.
  6. Once the stuffing is cooked, remove the lid of the slow cooker and let it sit for 10 minutes to cool slightly before serving.
  7. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired, and serve hot.
