Ingredients
3/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp poultry seasoning
1 1/2 cups onion, diced
1 1/2 cups celery, diced
1/2 cup mushrooms, diced
8 cups cubed dried bread
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp rosemary
2 tsp parsley
3–4 cups chicken broth (adjust as needed)
2 eggs, slightly beaten
Instructions
Sauté the Veggies: In a pan, melt the butter and sauté the diced onions, celery, and mushrooms until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the pepper, salt, and poultry seasoning, and cook for an additional minute. Set aside to cool.
Mix Bread and Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the cubed dried bread with the cooled veggie mixture. Stir in thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Toss everything together to combine.
Add Liquid: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and chicken broth. Slowly pour the egg-broth mixture over the bread, stirring gently. Add the broth in increments, making sure the bread is moist, but not soggy. You might not need all the broth, so reserve some for later if needed.
Slow Cook: Grease the slow cooker and transfer the stuffing mixture inside. Spread it evenly. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes or low for 3 hours. Check for desired texture and add more broth if necessary. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the stuffing is hot and cooked through, serve it with your Thanksgiving meal!
Notes
Broth Tip: Add the chicken broth slowly to avoid making the stuffing soggy. If it’s too moist, add more bread cubes to balance it out.
Customize: Feel free to adjust the vegetables to your liking. You can add cooked sausage, extra mushrooms, or swap the celery for carrots if you prefer.
Make-Ahead: You can assemble the stuffing ahead of time and store it in the fridge overnight. Just cook it on the day of serving.
