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.
