Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 3 hours

Total Time 3 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 loaf (16 oz) of day-old bread, cubed (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 celery stalks, diced
• 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 teaspoons dried sage
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs, beaten

Instructions

1. Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl. If the bread isn’t dry, toast it in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
2. In a skillet, melt 1/2 cup of the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the sautéed vegetables, sage, thyme, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl of bread cubes. Mix well to coat.
4. Pour the broth and beaten eggs over the bread mixture. Toss gently until everything is evenly moistened.
5. Grease the crockpot with the remaining melted butter. Add the stuffing mixture and spread it out evenly.
6. Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours, stirring once halfway through. The stuffing is done when it’s heated through and lightly crispy on the edges.
7. Scoop the stuffing onto a serving dish and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.
   
   

Notes

1. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
2. Freezing: Freeze stuffing in portions for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
3. Make-Ahead Option: Assemble the stuffing the night before, refrigerate, and cook the next day.
4. Vegetarian Option: Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
5. Texture Adjustment: For a drier stuffing, use less broth; for a wetter stuffing, add more.
