Old Fashioned Maple Bread Pudding
Have you wondered “How do you make bread pudding?” Well, this simple recipe will show you how! Like the old saying goes “waste not, want not.” This Old Fashioned Bread Pudding is a perfect example of old-fashioned thriftiness. This recipe is a wonderful way to transform dry leftover bread it into something delicious.
Leftovers made new…
I had some leftover cinnamon rolls, in the pantry that were left uncovered and they’d dried out. Leftovers are actually a rare thing in this house, so I grabbed at this opportunity to make this simple and satisfying dessert. Oh, was it good! We ate it for breakfast, which I highly recommend trying sometime.

Old Fashioned Bread Pudding Tips:
- Make sure your bread is dry, leave it out on the counter for a day, and it will be perfect.
- Test it with a knife and if it still seems too runny or soft, bake it a little longer.
- Tear or rip the bread. They will stick out and become crunchy and delicious as it bakes.

I’ve boiled ground beef in bulk before, but I’d never seen how to do it in the crockpot. Brilliant! Pre-cooked ground beef is such a huge time saver. Thanks for sharing this.
