Cheap and Easy Bread Pudding

Submitted by Secret Agent

"This is a great way to use up leftover Recipe #379727 - I had three of them left over from the week and trimmed them up, cubed them and made a basic bread pudding recipe. I took it out of the oven as DH was leaving for work and he hung around while I packed it up for him. The whole house smells great! Switch up the ingredients to what your family likes!"
