- Add butter in a very large nonstick pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

- Remove pan from heat.
- Add cornbread, bread cubes and mix until combined.
- Pour eggs, 2.5 cups broth and mix until combined. The bread should feel slightly moist. It should not be soaking wet.
- Spread the stuffing evenly in the pan.
- Note: For better presentation, especially if you are planning on serving this at a Thanksgiving feast, transfer mixture to a large casserole dish (Dimensions: 9x13) and then continue with the remaining steps below.
- Top with cubes of butter.
- Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake at 350 degrees F 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and discard foil.
- Check the consistency of stuffing. If it feels too dry, add more broth. You may have to do this if you prefer a "wet" stuffing.
- Bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes or until top is golden brown.
