Certainly! I can provide you with a basic crockpot stuffing recipe that you can customize according to your taste. Here’s a simple one to get you started:

Ingredients:

• 1 loaf of day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 10 cups)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried sage)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
• 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
• 2 large eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Prepare the Bread:

• Lay out your bread cubes on a baking sheet to dry overnight, or bake them in a 200°F oven for about 10 minutes until they are dry but not toasted.

1. Sauté Vegetables:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, and cook until they are soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

1. Season:

• Stir in the parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

1. Mix:

• In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes with the sautéed vegetable mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and eggs. Pour this over the bread mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring all bread is coated.

1. Slow Cook:

• Grease the inside of your crockpot lightly with butter or cooking spray. Transfer the stuffing mixture into the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, until the stuffing is moist and cooked through.

1. Finish and Serve:

• Check the stuffing. If you prefer a crispier top, you can remove the lid during the last 45 minutes of cooking. Once done, serve it warm as a side dish with your main course.

Feel free to add other ingredients like cooked sausage, nuts, cranberries, or diced apples to suit your preference. Enjoy your homemade stuffing!
