Description
Slow Cooker Cranberry Pecan Stuffing is a delicious and easy recipe that combines bread, pecans, and cranberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of bread (cubed, preferably day-old)
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 2 celery stalks (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- If your bread is not stale, cube it and let it dry out for a few hours or overnight.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix the cubed bread, sautéed vegetables, cranberries, and pecans.
- In another bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth, beaten eggs, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the wet mixture over the bread mixture, stirring gently to combine thoroughly.
- Grease the slow cooker insert and add the stuffing mixture. Press it down gently to ensure even cooking.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. Stir occasionally if possible.
- The stuffing should be moist but not soggy; it should hold together when served.
- Once cooked, fluff the stuffing with a fork before serving.
Notes
- This stuffing pairs well with turkey or chicken.
- Feel free to customize with additional herbs or spices.
