2cupsvegetable broth*
114 oz pkg Pepperidge Farm Cubed Herb Seasoned Stuffing**
Heat a large high-sided skillet or a dutch oven with 3 TBSP butter on medium-high heat until frothy.
Add onion + celery and sauté, stirring occasionally, until onions are brown around the edges and veggies begin to tenderize.
Next add minced garlic and mushroom and cook until veggies have softened to your liking.
Season then add broth.
Lightly butter the sides and bottom of your slow cooker and add your veggie mixture. Top with dry stuffing mix and a whisked egg. Mix well and secure the lid.
Cook via slow cooker on the LOW setting for 2.5-3 hours. May be cooked a bit longer if desired or switched to the warm function while you await dinner!
Feel free to top with an optional sprinkling of parsley and/or crushed breadcrumbs for an edible (+ pretty!) garnish. For an extra soft stuffing feel free to drizzle some extra broth, gravy, or butter on the stuffing while hot.
Notes
* Chicken broth may be used in place of veggie broth, if desired.** I grew up with my mom using Pepperidge Farm's Herb Seasoned Stuffing mix as the base for her Thanksgiving stuffing and still make it that way today! It's total nostalgia for me. If making your own stuffing mix using stale or toasted bread, simply season to taste, as I'm using a pre-seasoned blend as my starting point.
