Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (store bought or homemade)
2 medium onions, diced
2 cups celery, chopped
6 cups cubed and dried white bread
6 cups cubed and dried brown bread
1/4 cup chopped parsley
fresh herbs to taste (thyme, sage, rosemary) (optional)
3-4 cups chicken broth
2 eggs
Directions:
- Heat butter over medium heat until melted. Stir in poultry seasoning, black pepper and salt to taste. Add celery & onions and cook until softened (do not brown). Cool completely.
- Place bread cubes in a large bowl. Add cooled celery and onion mixture, parsley and fresh herbs if using.
- Add chicken broth a little bit at a time just to moisten and gently stir. You may not need all of the broth (see note below). Stir in eggs.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight if making ahead of time.
- Grease a 5-6 qt slow cooker well. Place stuffing in the slow cooker and turn onto high for 30 minutes. Reduce temperature to low and cook an additional 3-4 hours or until hot and cooked through. If stuffing is done before your meal is ready it can remain on warm.
Notes:
If using bread cubes you have dried yourself at home you will need closer to 2 cups of broth. If using dried store bought bread cubes/crumbs, you will need closer to 3 cups broth.
