Multi-grain Cornbread & Bacon Stuffing with Red Bell Pepper and Pecan

1 batch Panhandle Country Sweet Multi-Grain Cornbread, prepared, cooled, cubed
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
8 oz. bacon, chopped
1 cup onion, finely chopped
½ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 cup celery, fine minced
1 Tbsp. garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. poultry seasoning
¼ cup fresh chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
½ cup chopped pecan
½ cup turkey or chicken stock

Directions:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy, nonstick skillet, and add the bacon and onion.
• Cook, often stirring, until onion begins to soften and bacon starts to brown, about seven minutes.
• Add the bell pepper and celery. Cook together for another few minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Add the garlic, and stir together for 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Transfer to a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Combine well. Taste and adjust salt. Moisten as desired with vegetable stock.
• Transfer to a buttered or oiled 2-quart baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil, and heat through in a 325-degree oven for 30 minutes or a slow cooker for 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low.
