Crockpot Stuffing Recipe

Sweetened dried cranberries and apples give this savory Crockpot stuffing recipe a punch of sweetness that pairs perfectly with roast turkey. Because this stuffing cooks all day, it's best to use a dry stuffing mix, rather than fresh, day-old bread cubes. The fresh bread cubes can make it too mushy.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 8 hours

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 medium onions, diced
  • 16 stalks celery, diced
  • kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups dry herb stuffing mix
  • 2 tsp. poultry seasoning
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup peeled and diced apple
  • 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
  • 3-5 cups chicken broth

Preparation:

  1. Spray slow cooker stoneware with cooking spray.

  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and celery. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onions soften, about 10 minutes.

  3. Pour mixture over stuffing mix. Add poultry seasoning, eggs, apples and cranberries. Spoon into prepared slow cooker.

  4. Add just enough chicken broth to moisten the stuffing. Do not add too much broth or the stuffing will turn out mushy.

  5. Cover and heat on low 4-8 hours.
