Tips:

Use day-old bread for the best texture. Fresh bread will be too soft and mushy.
Cut the bread into small cubes. This will help it cook evenly.
Don't overstuff the crock pot. Leave some room for the stuffing to expand.
Add some moisture to the stuffing. This can be done with broth, water, or even melted butter.
Season the stuffing to taste. This could include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other herbs or spices you like.
Cook the stuffing on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
Fluff the stuffing with a fork before serving.
