Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 celery stalks, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sage, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons thyme, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2.5 cups chicken broth
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 12 cups day-old French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet using a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Transfer the cooked sausage, onion, celery, and garlic to a large mixing bowl. Add the parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Add the bread cubes to the bowl and toss to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and beaten eggs. Pour the mixture over the bread and sausage, gently folding until the bread is evenly moistened, but not soggy.

Step 6

Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Transfer the stuffing mixture into the slow cooker and spread it out in an even layer.

Step 7

Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the stuffing is heated through and the edges are slightly crisp.

Step 8

Serve warm as a delicious side dish for your holiday table or any meal requiring comforting flavors!
