Ingredients

• 12 cups Bread cubes (day-old, cubed, and dried)
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 large Yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 4 stalks Celery (chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 3 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 large Eggs (beaten)
• 1 teaspoon Dried sage
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 cups Parsley (finely chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. If they're not already dried, you can briefly toast them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to dry them out.

Step 2

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and garlic, and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Pour the sautéed vegetables over the bread cubes in the mixing bowl.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth, beaten eggs, sage, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually pour the liquid mixture over the bread cubes, tossing gently to coat evenly. The bread should be moist but not soggy. If necessary, add a little more broth, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 6

Fold in the parsley (if using) for a hint of freshness.

Step 7

Lightly grease the inside of the crock pot with butter or non-stick spray. Transfer the stuffing mixture into the crock pot and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 4 hours, stirring once halfway through cooking to ensure even moisture distribution.

Step 9

After 4 hours, check the consistency. If you'd like a slightly crispier texture, uncover the crock pot for the final 20-30 minutes of cooking.

Step 10

Serve warm as a delicious side dish for your holiday feast!
