I actually didn’t love stuffing when I was a kid – but ever since I’ve made this version – I love it! I always volunteer this dish for any holiday potluck as I know it will be the first thing to go!
How do you make stuffing in a slow cooker?
It’s very simple – the same way you make it for the oven. Chop your bread, saute your veggies and spices and then mix together with eggs and chicken broth. Instead of the oven, put in your slow cooker for 45 minutes on high and then low for 3-4 hours.
Can you make crock pot stuffing ahead of time?
Yes! I’ve been making this recipe for years and have taken it to work many times! I didn’t want the bread to sog on the way – so I prepped the pieces and then combined at work.
The night before:
* chopped the bread (and hamburger buns we hadn’t used)
* diced & sauteed the veggies and added the spices
* packaged it all up in ziplocs and storage containers (just like on Top Chef)
Then at work:
* Warm up the veggies in the microwave
* Mix with the bread in the ziploc bag
* Shake Shake Shake – Shake your bread and your veggies!
* Then crack your eggs into the bag and shake more
Place in the slow cooker and cook on high for 45 minutes and then low for 3-4 hours until you’re ready to eat!

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
- 2 cups onion diced
- 2 cups celery diced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
- 8-12 oz mushrooms sliced
- 1 loaf bread diced
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1 1/2 tsp sage
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp marjoram
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 eggs beaten
Instructions
- Add spices to skillet and mix in well.
- In large bowl, mix together bread cubes and vegetables – stir well.
- Beat two eggs and add to the bread mixture. Stir.
- Add chicken broth to the mixture slowly – only add enough to make it “gloppy” – not soupy. Add sparingly – you can always add more while it’s cooking.
- Transfer to slow cooker and cover. Be sure to spray the slow cooker with non-stick spray. If using a liner – spray that too!
- Cook on high for 45 minutes, then reduce to low for 4-8 hours. Check every couple of hours and add more broth if needed.

I have never made stuffing in the slow cooker and I love this idea. We are not fans of cooking it in the bird and this saves oven space on Thanksgiving. Thanks so much for this idea and recipe.
Love a good tasting stuffing like this! Just add all the ingredients to the crockpot and go! Perfect for the upcoming holidays as I have other things on the stove to make.
Great recipe! Love all the herbs you have used. I have already started holiday planning so I’m banking up all my recipes for the big day! Definitely adding this to the list.
I never thought to make stuffing in the slow cooker before but now I can’t wait to try this recipe for Thanksgiving in a few weeks! It looks delicious and I love how much of a time saver it is!
