Directions:
Preheat oven to 375º. Grease or Pam a 13 x 9 inch casserole. Placed stuffing mixes and crumbled bread in a large bowl. Combine eggs and broth in a separate container.

Saute onion in butter about five minutes or until translucent. Add carrots, celery, thyme, and cayenne. Cook over medium heat until vegetables are soft, 5-10 minutes. If using mushrooms, add them now and cook for 3-5 minutes. Season vegetables with salt and pepper and other seasonings. Add cooked vegetables to bread. If using dried fruit and nuts, add them now.

Add bread/vegetable mixture to prepared casserole. Pour most of the broth/egg mixture over the bread/vegetable mixture. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Check mixture to see if it is as moist as desired; add more broth if needed. Remove cover and bake for another 15-30 minutes or until dressing is hot and top is beginning to brown.

Personal Notes:
Bread can be adjusted according to taste, using more or less cornbread, cornbread stuffing mix, herb stuffing mix or other bread. Recipe can easily be doubled.
