12 cups bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes - see notes
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped - about 4 ribs
12 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced - can also use white button mushrooms
1/4 cup butter
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon salt - plus more to taste
1 teaspoon pepper
3-4 cups chicken stock, unsalted - can also use broth - or vegetable broth if vegetarian
2 large eggs, whisked

Preheat the oven to 300°F the bread into 1/2 inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Spray the tops of the cubes with nonstick cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes to dry out and very lightly toast bread.
To a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and saute onion, celery and mushrooms until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
To a large mixing bowl, add dried bread cubes, veggie saute, 2 cups of stock (or broth) and 2 whisked eggs. Gently fold to combine and add more broth if needed. You only want to moisten the bread and not soak it to keep the texture toasty.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to a 5-6qt. slow cooker coated with cooking spray. Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours or until a thermometer reads 160 °F.

1 serving is approx 3/4 cup. Will serve 10-12.

You can use just about any bread you like for this slow cooker stuffing:

white sandwich bread, whole wheat, sourdough, or even a rustic loaf. Slightly stale bread works best for texture, but if your bread is fresh, simply toast it in the oven before using.You’ll need about 12 cups of bread cubes for this recipe. One loaf of sandwich bread usually works, while a rustic loaf may require two.
you can also use gluten-free bread. The cook time will remain the same. If you are gluten-free, make sure to check labels on broth as well.
