The Best stuffing slow cooker recipe

I’m so excited to share this stuffing slow cooker recipe with you all! As a busy mom of two, I’m always on the lookout for easy and delicious meals that can be made in advance. This recipe has become a staple in our household, and I love it for so many reasons.

Firstly, it’s incredibly easy to make – just throw all the ingredients into the slow cooker and let it do the work for you. This means that I can spend more time with my family and less time slaving away in the kitchen. Plus, the slow cooker method ensures that the bread stays nice and tender, without becoming dry or crumbly like it can when cooked on the stovetop or in the oven.

My kids absolutely love this recipe, and they’re always asking for seconds (or even thirds!) It’s also a great way to get some extra veggies into their diet – just add in some chopped onions, carrots, and celery to give it an extra nutritional boost. I’ve served this at family gatherings, potlucks, and even just as a regular weeknight dinner.

Everyone raves about it, and I love how versatile it is – you can serve it as a side dish, or even as a main event with some added protein like sausage or chicken. The best part? It’s incredibly healthy – we’re talking whole wheat bread, herbs, and spices instead of salt and sugar.

This recipe is a game-changer for anyone looking to shake up their meal routine. Trust me when I say that once you try this stuffing slow cooker recipe, you’ll be hooked for life!

🥘Ingredients

For the Stuffing

1 loaf day-old bread, cubed
1 onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried sage
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil

For the Broth

3 cups chicken broth
1 tbsp soy sauce

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large mixing bowl, combine cubed bread, onion, celery, mushrooms, parsley, thyme, sage, salt, and black pepper.
2Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3In a separate pan, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat.
4Add the bread mixture to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bread is lightly toasted and the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
5The vegetables should be translucent and the bread should have a golden-brown color.
6Transfer the bread mixture to the slow cooker.
7Pour the chicken broth and soy sauce over the bread mixture.
8Stir gently to combine, ensuring the liquid is evenly distributed.
9The liquid should be mostly absorbed by the bread, creating a moist but not soggy consistency.
10Cover and cook on low heat for 2-3 hours, or until the stuffing is heated through and the flavors are well combined.
11Check the stuffing periodically to ensure it does not dry out.
12If it becomes too dry, add a small amount of water or additional broth.
