Description
A rich and savory holiday stuffing prepared in a slow cooker to ensure consistent moisture and deep herb infusion without using oven space.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 cups dried bread cubes
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for topping)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced celery
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Sauté the diced onion and celery in a pan with a bit of butter until they are translucent and soft.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, chopped sage, parsley, and minced garlic.
- Slowly pour the chicken broth over the bread mixture, stirring gently to ensure the cubes are moistened but not saturated.
- Transfer the entire mixture into the slow cooker, pressing down lightly to ensure it is evenly distributed.
- Place small pats of butter across the top of the stuffing to create a rich, basted finish.
- Cover and cook on Low for 4 hours, or until the bread has softened and the broth is fully absorbed.
- Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed before serving.
