Ingredients You Need
How to Make Stuffing in the Slow Cooker
Cook onion, celery and parsley in butter in a large skillet. This smells SO GOOD!
Add stuffing cubes spices into a large (!) bowl. Seriously, make sure it’s large.
Add the vegetables in butter sauce.
Add chicken broth, a little at a time until the stuffing is lightly moistened. Let’s talk broth amount. This is really important so please read! I recommend 4 cups of broth if you are using store bought bags of cubed stuffing. Use less broth for homemade bread. Add 2 cups of broth, stir and then adjust it until the bread cubes are lightly wet.
Add beaten eggs in and stir to fully mix it all together.
Spray a crockpot with nonstick spray to prevent sticking and then add in stuffing mixture.
Cover and cook. When 4 hours is up, it’s ready to serve – enjoy this delicious crockpot stuffing!
Storing and Freezing Stuffing
This stuffing stores and freezes great! I often make this for my family of 5 and freeze it for future meals.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
You can freeze leftover stuffing for 3 months by putting it in a freezer safe storage container, or freezer bag and then freeze it. To defrost, I pop in the microwave for a few minutes and then heat up in the microwave or oven.

If I made use just 1 package of stuffing and 1/2 of the rest of ingredients, would it still cook for 4 hours?
