Pumpkin Breakfast Casserole

Oh man this breakfast is seriously SO good!!! It's sorta like french toast, but better!


INGREDIENTS:
  • 10 slices of Bread, cubed
  • 2 c. pumpkin puree
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • 2 t. cinnamon
  • 1/2 t. gr. ginger
  • 1/2 t. gr. nutmeg
  • 1/4 t. salt
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 1 c. milk
  • 1 (5 oz) can evaporated milk
  • 1/2 c. chopped pecans for top (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Put the cut up bread into 9x13 dish.
  2. Combine all other ingredients and pour over bread.
  3. Cover with saran wrap and put in fridge over night.
  4. Next morning Bake @ 350 for 45 minutes.
  5. Serve warm with butter, syrup and powdered sugar over top!

OPTIONAL: Before baking- I mix 1/4 c. Brown sugar, cinnamon and a few Tablespoons of butter. Sprinkle it on top. You can grate the butter to combine the crumb easily.

*I make half the recipe. Using 4 THICK slices of homemade bread and put it in a 11x7 pan, but an 9x9 will work fine! I also use fresh pumpkin puree that I have stashed in the freezer, but if you don't have pumpkin on hand I'm sure applesauce would be fantastic as well!
