1½ cups chicken or vegetable brothLow-sodium preferred

Helpful Tips

  • Add the stuffing mix dry—no pre-cooking needed
  • Brown any meat ahead of time and drain excess fat
  • Using low-sodium broth helps prevent over-salting

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Layer the Ingredients

Add the cooked meat (if using), onion, celery, and frozen vegetables to the slow cooker.
Evenly sprinkle the dry stuffing mix over the top—do not stir.
Pour the soup and broth over everything, then gently press down so the stuffing absorbs the liquid.

2. Cook

Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking, as the trapped steam is essential.

3. Finish and Serve

If adding cheese, sprinkle it on during the final 30 minutes of cooking.
Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes, then fluff gently with a fork before serving.


Serving Suggestions

  • 🥩 Pair with roasted chicken, pork chops, or meatloaf

  • 🧈 Finish with butter or gravy for extra comfort

Make-Ahead & Storage
