Bread Stuffing W/ Pears, Bacon, Pecans & Caramelized Onions image

I found this recipe at the Pear Bureau Northwest sight. It's filled with Bread Stuffing w/ Pears, Bacon, Pecans or Chestnuts, Caramelized Onions, rosemary, thyme, & sage. This can be baked it beforehand and reheat it once the turkey is out unlesss you have room in the oven can be put in 30 minutes before turkey is removed.
