5-6 jumbo corn muffins (i bought them already made)
1/2 onion, diced fine
2 stalks, celery, diced fine
1/2 small red pepper
1 chicken bouillon cube
6 slices bacon, plus 1 tbs of bacon fat
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup butter (1 stick) -- i used more
1/2 cup chicken broth
poultry seasoning, parsley, salt, pepper

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in Dutch oven or large pan. Add about 1 TBS of bacon fat (if you wish) for added flavor. Sautee the onions, celery, & red pepper until soft with some salt.
2. Add poultry seasoning (about 1 tsp), chicken bouillon cube, and dissolve. Crumble up the muffins & add them to the pan. Stir gently. Add chicken broth & some more butter, if you want. :)
3. Crumble up the bacon & stir into the stuffing. Remove from heat & stir in 2 beaten eggs. Mix well, add some curly parsley & stir.
4. Pour in a greased baking dish, & add a little bit more chicken broth (maybe another 1/4 cup) & bake for about 40 minutes on 350. You may want to add some butter on top to brown nicely.
