Spoon these cooked veggies and pork over the bread cubes in a very large mixing bowl.
Season with sage, thyme, marjoram, and salt and pepper.
Pour in enough broth to moisten the mix, and then mix in the beaten eggs(if using egg).
Transfer this entire mix to the crock pot.

Cover and Cook on High for 45 minutes, then switch to low for 4 – 5 hours. This can continue up to 7-8 if you are away from the crock pot. This recipe will feed about 8.
