Equipment

Ingredients

12 cups dry bread crumbs (see recipe notes to make homemade bread crumbs)
½ cup butter
2 cups yellow onion (diced)
2 cups celery (diced)
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 large eggs
2 ½ cups low sodium chicken broth

Instructions

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, poultry seasoning, salt, rosemary, and black pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until onions are soft and translucent.
In a medium bowl whisk eggs and chicken broth together and set aside.
In a very large bowl, add bread crumbs and vegetable mixture. Fold in to the dry bread crumbs while slowly adding in chicken broth. (see notes below)
Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with a non stick cooking spray. Add stuffing and cook on high for 3-4 hours.

Notes

Toast or use slightly stale bread to help the stuffing absorb the broth without getting soggy.
Sauté the onions and celery in butter before adding to the bread crumbs to boost flavor.
Add the egg and broth mixture gradually so the stuffing is moist but not watery.
For a lightly crispy top, remove the slow cooker lid during the last 20–30 minutes of cooking.
