Butternut Squash Stuffing

Ingredients needed for Slow Cooker Stuffing

  • Non-stick spray, for Crock-Pot
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, finely chopped
  • 2 cups butternut squash, finely chopped
  • 2 ½ teaspoons Herbes de Provence

  • fresh ground black pepper

Tips for this crockpot butternut squash stuffing recipe:

  • If you need to make bread stale faster, toast in the oven after cubing and allow to get slightly brown on all bits. Remove from oven and allow to cool thoroughly. 
  • If you like your stuffing a little more on the wet side, and then add an additional ½ cup of chicken broth.

How to make homemade stuffing in the slow cooker

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Once the butter has melted, add butternut squash and cook for 5-6 minutes. Then add in celery, onion, carrots, and herbes de provence.

Season with salt and pepper and cook until onions are translucent about 5 – 7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for approximately 15-20 minutes. We don’t want it too hot or you will cook the eggs and wind up with scrambled eggs. 

Spray the crockpot liner with a non-stick spray. Then pour your vegetable mix, eggs, and broth. Combine well with the help of your hands a wooden spoon. Don’t over mix or you will have mush!

Cook on low for approximately 2 ½ hours.  If you want a crisp top, then place in a 450-degree oven for about 5 minutes, or until lightly brown on top.
