Preparation:
Melt butter in a heavy 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, bacon, seasonings and ham or shrimp. Sauté, stirring often, until vegetables are wilted and bacon is cooked, but not browned, about 10 minutes. Place corn bread and French bread cubes in a large bowl.
Pour vegetable mixture over bread; toss to combine. Stir in eggs. Add enough stock or broth to make a moist dressing, stirring to break up corn bread and French bread.
Makes about 1 pound or 8 cups.
