Just as my mother did, I always use eggs. The stuffing is less crumbly and more sliceable for those next-day sandwiches. It just depends on your personal preference.

Yes, I add an egg to mine - it serves as a binder for all the ingredients. I have never made it in a slo-cooker, so can't advise on that.

I too always add an egg or two to my stuffing, but have never used a slow cooker. Please let us know how it works out!

I've always put raw eggs in my stuffing. I also put in hot Italian sausage and bacon. Nummers! Can't wait until dinner tomorrow now.

Yes, eggs in dressing or stuffing is good. That is the way I like it and the way my Grandma made it.

I, my mother and grandmother always used beaten eggs in stuffing. It acts like a binder, holding the bread and other ingredients together, and adds moisture.

No eggs in my family!

does it brown up in the over with a crusty top? will have to try it next time..no stuffing for us...dil and ds2 are making a crock pot chicken dish...

I've never stuffed a bird, but I don't think I'd add an egg if I did. I bake it in a pan and always use an egg or two. Good luck, jas!

I just finished making crock pot stuffing for the first time. Our Christmas Dinner is today. I put the beaten eggs in it. It sure smells yummy but I will have to let you know later how the stuffing turned out.

My Mom always put eggs in her stuffing. She also always cooks it separately, never inside the turkey. BTW, I hate dressing/stuffing. Never touch the stuff! LOL.

jasdip, I always use an egg in dressing, but I don't do stuffing, so don't know about that.

They say that it's called "stuffing" when it's inside the turkey, and "dressing" when it's cooked outside.

So I guess I'll be putting egg in my dressing tomorrow.

I remember when my DM told me how she made stuffing/dressing she mentioned eggs. For some reason I thought she meant hard boiled, chopped up eggs, so that is what I did for a long time. She later told me it was raw eggs, just whisked a little, not beaten. She stuffed the bird and also baked some. We had a large family. I prefer the baked.

My dressing was good, and after I learned about the raw eggs, I did that, too. I love a good stuffing/dressing. Just don't forget the giblets and the sage. And save some of the giblets for the gravy.

My Mother used eggs in her stuffing and it was the best ever.I tried to do the same but mine never tasted as good.
She used raw eggs,sage, salt & pepper and the giblets mixed with the bread. Added some milk for moisture and steamed it in a cast iron pan for a little bit before she stuffed the bird.It was so good !

I've made my mother's pork sausage & onion stuffing since the mid '60s, which calls for eggs & milk mixed with the bread - like pump toad. I've not done it in a slow cooker, though; just in the turkey & any leftover goes in a greased baking dish.

No never in my stuffing. I'm a purist. Everyone loves my stuffing because of what I don't put in. Just good bread,celery,onion,salt and pepper and inards. The flavor comes from the bird.

If I do have to brag, I loved the crock pot stuffing I made today. Yummy! Nice and moist, tasty and made with a couple of eggs. I'm glad there are leftovers for tomorrow. I'm really not a cook, my DH is the cook in our house so this was a real adventure for me.

Thanks Heather!
I'm putting it together now.

LOL, all "us" cooks who stuff the bird, we should all be dying of food poisoning according to the USDA, etc etc. Some things never change, the way our fore-parents did it.

Normally the bird would be stuffed, but as I mentioned this is an unusual Christmas for us, and we're using a Cheater Chicken, so no stuffed bird.

You only get food poisoning from the stuffing if you leave the stuffing in the bird for too long. I remove it as soon as the turkey comes out of the oven. I make so much stuffing, that I fill the bird and have enough to fill another pan which I also put the neck of the bird in and some of the drippings. It usually only takes about an hour to cook in the oven. Then I mix the two together when it's all done.

Debby we do the same thing. I like the flavour of the stuffing inside the bird, and combining the two makes it just right!
