Course: Side Dish
Servings: 8

Equipment

  • 5-7 quart crockpot/slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs sourdough bread, cut into small 1” cubes 
  • 8 tablespoon butter, plus 2 tablespoon for greasing the crockpot
  • 3 ribs of celery with leaves, finely chopped 
  • 1 medium-large onion, finely chopped 
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced 
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh sage leaves (about 1 whole 0.66 oz package)
  • 2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 2 cups store bought or homemade chicken or turkey stock 
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    2. Grease crockpot with 2 tablespoon butter, and preheat crockpot to high.
    3. Cut sourdough into small cubes, and distribute evenly onto 2 large sheet pans.
    4. Place in preheated oven, and toast for 15-20 minutes, until dry and crispy.
    5. While bread toasts, heat 4 tablespoon butter in a large deep frying pan or sauté pan over medium-low heat.
    6. Add onion and celery, and season with salt. Cook 5-7 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until just fragrant.
    7. Transfer cooked celery, onion and garlic mixture to a very large mixing bowl. Allow to cool.
    8. Add chopped fresh sage, poultry seasoning, and eggs. Whisk to combine.
    9. Add toasted bread, season with salt and pepper, and pour chicken stock over, and toss all ingredients until well combined. The mixture should be moist and easily come together when lightly pressed, but should not be "wet."
    10. Transfer to crockpot, and reduce crockpot heat to low.
    11. Top stuffing with remaining 4 tablespoon butter, cut into pats.
    12. Cook 3-3.5 hours, until sides are crispy and inside is cooked through and fluffy.
    13. Turn crockpot to warm until ready to serve, or serve immediately!
