Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 2 cups celery chopped
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper coarse ground
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon sage dried
- 2 egg beaten, large
- 12 cups bread chopped (I used a loaf of french bread I cut up and let sit out 24-48 hours in a single layer, stale
Instructions
- In a large pot add the butter, onion, celery, salt and pepper and cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes before turning off the heat and adding in the broth, poultry seasoning, sage and eggs, whisking together until combined and no extra liquid is sitting in the bottom of the slow cooker (this is important to have it cook evenly).
- Add the bread to the slow cooker and pour over the egg mixture, tossing together until well combined.
- Cook on low for 4-5 hours then uncovered for 30 minutes on high.

Notes
- Ensure no extra liquid pools at the bottom of the slow cooker to achieve even cooking.
- Use stale bread cubes left out 24-48 hours for proper drying and absorption.
- Finishing the cook uncovered on high heat creates a lightly browned top crust.
- The dish benefits from the poultry seasoning and sage to enhance traditional stuffing flavors.
