Salty bits of fried bacon, along with sautéed onions, celery, and thyme, imbue this cornbread stuffing with rich flavor and wonderful aroma. The base of the casserole is made with equal amounts of cornbread and white bread cubes to keep the filling from feeling too heavy. Use only stale bread to prevent the cubes from becoming soggy from the vegetables and to help them retain their shape, resulting in a delicious filling.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 190°C; grease a shallow 3-quart baking dish with butter.
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt 6 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
- Add the celery, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the celery is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, parsley, and green onions. Add the cornbread cubes, potato bread cubes, pecans, and vegetable mixture and stir to combine.
- Transfer the filling to the prepared baking dish. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into small cubes and spread evenly over the filling.
