Stuffing is awesome when it’s stuffed inside the turkey. But sometimes it’s not easy to make that happen. And some people prefer to make it outside the turkey anyways. My Mom always called it stuffing whether it was stuffed in the turkey or baked outside. Making slow cooker stuffing allows you to let it cook all on its own for several hours while you’re getting the rest of your meal ready.
Ingredients needed:
loaf of white sandwich bread celery, onion and carrot garlic and fresh parsley fresh sage, thyme and rosemary salt and pepper poultry seasoning eggs chicken broth
How to make Slow Cooker Stuffing:
Spread the bread cubes out on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown. Sauté the veggies in butter.
Add the sautéed veggies to a bowl with the bread cubes. Add egg, and toss together. Add in broth 1 cup at a time, until the bread cubes are moist but not soaked. Spray the inside of your slow cooker insert with nonstick spray. Add the stuffing mix to the insert. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
The result is a delicious slow cooker stuffing that is moist and tender. Now “technically” this isn’t actually “stuffing” since it’s not stuffed inside the turkey to cook. So critics may argue that this should be called dressing instead. That’s perfectly fine. Call it what you want.
This is a great stuffing recipe to make when you don’t have room in your oven. Make it for Thanksgiving or Christmas or Easter. Or just make it for a nice, Sunday night dinner to go with roasted chicken or turkey breast. It’s a delicious and easy way to make stuffing. Enjoy!
