How to Make Simon's Pumpkin Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat your crockpot.
  2. Grease the crockpot with cooking spray or butter.
  3. Cube 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of day-old bread into 1-inch pieces and place them in the prepared crockpot.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 cups of whole milk, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) of melted unsalted butter, 1 cup of raisins, 1 (15 ounce) can of pumpkin pie filling, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
  5. Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the crockpot, gently stirring to combine. Ensure all bread pieces are moistened.
  6. Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 1 hour. Then, reduce the heat to low and cook for another 3-4 hours, or until a food thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F (71°C).
  7. While the pudding is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter over medium heat.
  8. Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  9. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  10. Once the bread pudding is cooked and slightly cooled, pour the warm vanilla sauce generously over the top and serve immediately. Enjoy!
