Ingredients

• 8 Slices of bread cubed (stale bread will do)
• 2 Cups whole milk
• 4 Eggs
• 1/4 Cup sugar
• 1/4 Cup butter, melted
• 1/4 Cup raisins (mixed dark and white is good)
• 1 Can pumpkin-pie filling
• 1/4 Teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 Teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Sauce
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 2 Tablespoons flour
• 1 Cup Water
• 3/4 Cup sugar
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Place bread in greased crock pot. Beat together milk and eggs. Stir in sugar, butter, raisins, pumpkin pie filling, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour over bread and stir. Cover: cook on high 1 hour. Reduce heat to low; cook 3 to 4 hours or until temperature is 160°F.

Make sauce just before pudding is done. Begin by melting butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add water, sugar and vanilla. Bring to boil. Cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Pour sauce over hot bread pudding.
