Crockpot Stuffing

This is my favorite crockpot stuffing that I like to use for potlucks or when I need to have several things cooking at the same time and can't use the stove/oven.

•1 cup butter

• 2 Large Onions, chopped

•2 cups chopped celery

•2 tablespoons chopped parsley

•12 to 13 cups slightly dry bread cubes

•1 1/2  teaspoons poultry seasoning

•1/2  teaspoon salt, or to taste

•1 teaspoons dried sage

•1 teaspoon dried leaf thyme (don't use unless I can get it fresh)

•1/4 teaspoon pepper, or to taste

•1/2 teaspoon ground marjoram

•2 to 2 1/2 cups chicken broth

•2 eggs, beaten

Preparation:

Melt butter in skillet and saute onion, celery, and parsley. Pour over bread cubes in a very large bowl. Add seasonings and toss to blend ingredients well. Pour in enough chicken broth to moisten. Before adding eggs, taste to check seasonings. Add more salt and herbs if necessary. Add beaten eggs and mix together well. Pack lightly into a greased slow cooker. cover and cook on HIGH 45 minutes; reduce to LOW and continue to cook for 4 to 8 hours longer. You may use 14 ounces seasoned stuffing mixture in place of bread cubes, but omit herbs and salt (or add seasonings just to taste) and add about 1 extra cup of chicken broth.
