Ingredients

• 8 cups cornbread
• 4 cups day-old white or wheat bread
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 4 stalks celery, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 large eggs

Directions

Step 1

Crumble the cornbread and day-old bread into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the sautéed onion and celery mixture to the bowl of crumbled breads.

Step 4

Stir in the parsley, poultry seasoning, sage, salt, and pepper, making sure the mixture is evenly combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth and eggs until well-blended.

Step 6

Slowly pour the broth mixture over the bread mixture, stirring gently until the bread is moistened but not soggy. Adjust the amount of broth as needed to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 7

Grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

Step 8

Transfer the dressing mixture to the slow cooker, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the dressing is set and heated through.

Step 10

After 4 hours, check the dressing. If you prefer a crispier texture, remove the lid and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 11

Turn off the slow cooker and let the dressing rest for 10 minutes before serving.
