Ingredients
-
12 cups whole-grain country bread cubes (1-inch)
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 cups chopped onion
-
2 cups chopped celery
-
2 ½ cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
-
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
-
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
-
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
-
½ teaspoon ground pepper
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place bread cubes in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet; bake until lightly toasted, about 10 minutes. Remove and cool completely, about 20 minutes.
-
Melt butter with oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onion and celery and cook, stirring often, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Place the cooled bread cubes in a large bowl; stir in the onion mixture, broth, eggs, sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Lightly coat a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Transfer the bread mixture to the slow cooker.
-
Cover and cook on High for 30 minutes; reduce heat to Low and cook until cooked through and a knife inserted in center comes out clean, 3 to 4 hours.
Tips
To make ahead: Toast bread (Step 1); store toasted bread cubes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The stuffing may be held, covered, on Warm for up to 2 hours.
Equipment: 5- to 6-quart slow cooker

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
