Make classic buttery herb stuffing in your slow cooker to save oven space during busy holidays. This recipe delivers moist stuffing with optional crispy edges, perfect for your Thanksgiving menu.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf (16 ounces) day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups chopped yellow onion (about 1 large)
  • 1 cup chopped celery (about 2 stalks)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. Spread bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly toasted. This step is optional but helps create crispier edges.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add garlic, sage, and thyme and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes, cooked onion and celery mixture, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and beaten eggs.
  5. Pour the broth mixture over the bread mixture and toss gently to combine.
  6. Transfer the stuffing mixture to a slow cooker (6-quart or larger).
  7. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, until heated through and the liquid is absorbed.
  8. For crispier edges, uncover the slow cooker for the last 30 minutes of cooking, or transfer the stuffing to a baking dish and broil for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • This recipe is a great make-ahead option for holiday meal planning.
  • You can adjust the herbs to your preference. Rosemary is also a nice addition.
  • For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
  • This recipe is a fantastic set and forget side dish, ideal for feeding a crowd.
