This recipe is so popular and famous in my family that I have to make at least 2 crock pots of it. One for Thanksgiving and one for left overs.
This is a pretty moist stuffing as is. If you like drier (fluffy) stuffing, use only about 1/2 of the chicken broth. Also, I've made this with both fresh and dried herbs...and fresh is the WAY TO GO with this. It tastes so awesome. If you use fresh herbs double the amount given for the dried as fresh herbs are not as pungent as dried. It is also imperative that very stale dried bread is used. It helps soak up all that broth. If you use fresh bread it will be very, very soggy, even if you cut the amount of broth in half. This recipe does not need to be cooked for 8 hours. Make sure mix up the stuffing every so often so the edges don't form a crust...although some people in my family like it kinda crusty.
Also, the size of the bread cubes matters. My family likes it best when the cubes are about half an inch by half an inch. I personally like them bigger. Don;t make them larger than 1 inch by inch though, otherwise it is much harder to mix up the spices and butter and you will end up with pieces of bread that have no real taste to them.
