Notes

Can You Make Stuffing in a Crockpot

Yes! This recipe cooks seasoned stuffing cubes with vegetables, stock, herbs, and butter in a covered slow cooker on low for about four hours.

Do I Have to Cook the Onion and Celery First?

No. This recipe adds them directly to the slow cooker. Chop them finely and check that they are tender before serving.

Does This Crockpot Stuffing Need Eggs?

No. This recipe uses stock and butter to moisten the seasoned bread cubes and does not include eggs.

Can I Use a Boxed Stuffing Mix?

Choose a product that matches the dry seasoned stuffing cubes specified in the recipe. A smaller stovetop stuffing mix with a separate seasoning packet may have different liquid requirements and is not a direct substitute.

Can I Keep Stuffing Warm in the Crockpot?

Yes. Once fully cooked, use the warm setting. Keep the lid on between servings.
