Crockpot stuffing

Ingredients

1 cup of butter

2 cups chopped onion

¼ cup of chopped parsley

2 4 ounce cans sliced drained mushrooms (optional)

12 to 13 cups dry bread cubes

1 teaspoon poultry seasoning or sage

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

½ teaspoon pepper

2 or 21/2 cups chicken broth

2 eggs, beaten

Directions:

Melt butter in a skillet and sauté onions, celery, parsley and mushrooms.

Once sautéed, pour the mixture over the bread cubes. Add seasonings and toss. Pour broth over bread cubes to moisten, add beaten eggs and mix.

Pack the stuffing (lightly) in the crockpot and cook on high for about 4 1/2 hours. Switch the heat to low and cook an additional four to eight hours.

Note: Two 7 ounce packages of seasoned croutons may be used in place of bread cubes. If you use the croutons use three to 3 1/2 cups of broth and omit the herbs and salt.
