How to make Stuffing in a Crockpot! This Slow Cooker Crock Pot Dressing / Stuffing Recipe is perfect for Thanksgiving! Do you call it stuffing or dressing? I have always called it stuffing, but recently I have been seeing it listed as a dressing for Thanksgiving.
Crockpot Stuffing Recipe
This recipe is so easy to make! The hardest part is cutting up all the bread and slicing the celery and onions. Outside of that, the crock pot does all the work.
When I was making this recipe for some reason I thought it would take a lot more bread than it really does take. I went out and bought 4 loaves of bread and started cutting up the bread.
After the first loaf, I realized that the crock pot was pretty well full.
We ended up with a lot of sandwiches for lunch after making this recipe. John was laughing and asked if I planned to feed an entire army with my 4 loaves of bread.
I don't know why but I really thought it would take a lot more bread than 1 loaf of bread. Oops.
I made this with all white bread since that is what was requested by John and our neighbor. I think when I make it again I will do a mix of a few different types of bread to add a bit of a different flavor to the stuffing.
We love making this Crockpot Dressing with a mix of white, sourdough, and wheat bread. The multiple flavors add a great mix of colors to the dressing but also flavors.

Recipe Tips
A mix of bread works great for this recipe. We have used sourdough and white bread and it tastes amazing.
If you have a large bowl, you can mix everything together before you pour it into the crockpot. Just wait to pour the butter until everything is in the slow cooker.

Can you use the already seasoned stuffing cubes?
Devon
Are the bread cubes from fresh bread? Do you prefer any particular type of bread?
Ashley Fultz
I was wondering if the stuffing was mushy at all? I like mine kind of browned on the top
M Lewis
how much does it make / how many servings?
Mari
Hi! What does "1/4 -1 cup butter, melted" in the recipe mean? I'm not clear on the amount of butter needed. Thank you!
Tammilee
Hi,
I just updated the recipe. I somehow typed it in backwards. Thank you for letting me know.
