Instructions
Creating Momma Law’s Crockpot Stuffing is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Bread: Cut the day-old bread into cubes and place it in a large mixing bowl. If the bread isn’t stale, you can toast it lightly in the oven to dry it out.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped celery and onion, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Combine Ingredients: In the bowl with the bread cubes, pour in the sautéed vegetables and butter. Mix well to combine.
4. Add Broth and Seasoning: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until the bread is well moistened.
5. Incorporate Parsley and Eggs: Add the chopped parsley and beaten eggs, mixing until everything is evenly distributed. The eggs are optional but help bind the stuffing.
6. Transfer to Crockpot: Grease the crockpot with cooking spray or butter. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the crockpot, spreading it evenly.
7. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, checking occasionally. The stuffing is done when it’s hot throughout and has absorbed the flavors.
8. Serve: Once cooked, fluff with a fork and serve warm alongside your favorite holiday dishes.
These steps will guide you in effortlessly creating this incredible stuffing that will surely become a staple in your kitchen.
