Save Oven Space This Thanksgiving With Slow-Cooker Stuffing

Making stuffing in a slow cooker frees up much-needed oven space on Thanksgiving while delivering delicious results. After toasting bread cubes to make croutons, you simply sauté the remaining ingredients, mix them together with an eggy broth, and let the slow cooker cook it over three to four hours. The resulting dish offers a combination of textures, featuring pillowy soft pieces in the center and crispy, chewy chunks on the outside. It also absorbs the flavors of broth, onion, celery, garlic, thyme, and sage, providing a homemade alternative to bagged stuffing.
