# Ingredients:

01 - 16 ounces mushrooms, freshly sliced.
02 - 2 cups chopped celery.
03 - 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning.
04 - 12 cups bread cubes for stuffing.
05 - 1 cup of softened butter.
06 - 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves.
07 - 4 cups of chicken stock.
08 - 1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped.
09 - 2 large eggs, whisked.
10 - 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
11 - 2 cups of diced onions.
12 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper.
13 - 1 1/2 teaspoons ground sage.

# Instructions:

01 - Heat butter in a big pan. Toss in celery, onion, and mushrooms until they're soft. Stir in parsley and set aside to cool.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread with all the dry spices. Mix thoroughly so flavors spread evenly.
03 - Fold the cooked veggies into the seasoned bread bits. Pour in the eggs and chicken broth. Gently toss to coat everything.
04 - Dump the mixture into a slow cooker, but don’t pack it down. Let it cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4. For crispy bites, remove the lid an hour before it’s done and stir now and then.

# Notes:

01 - Always use fresh mushrooms for this recipe.
02 - Fresh spices make a big flavor difference.
03 - Avoid pressing the mixture down too tightly.
04 - Take the lid off at the end for crispy bits.
05 - This saves space in your oven.
06 - A must-have dish for the holidays.
