Description

This simple and delicious slow cooker dressing is made with just 5 ingredients, yet it’s packed with flavor! The bread soaks up a rich, savory broth, making it moist, buttery, and perfect for any holiday table—without taking up oven space!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (12 oz) bag herb-seasoned stuffing mix (or 8 cups dried bread cubes)
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup (or cream of celery for a vegetarian option)
  • 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon onion powder)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Slow Cooker:
  • Grease the inside of your slow cooker (4–6 quart size) with butter or nonstick spray.
  • Mix the Dressing:
  • In a large bowl, combine stuffing mix, chopped onion, melted butter, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth. Stir until well combined.
  • Cook the Dressing:
  • Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker and spread evenly.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Fluff & Serve:
  • Once the dressing is soft and moist, fluff it with a fork and serve warm!

Notes

  • Make it More Flavorful: Add 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning or sage for extra depth.
  • Add-Ins: Stir in cooked celery, sausage, or cranberries for more texture and taste.
  • Crispier Dressing: Transfer to a baking dish and broil for 5 minutes after slow cooking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven at 325°F for 10 minutes.
  • Freezing: Freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw before reheating.
