When I visited my grandmother in summer, I always looked forward to the comforting pudding she'd make. With its crusty golden top, custard-like inside and smooth vanilla sauce, this bread pudding is a real homespun dessert. Now I make it for my grandchildren. —Mary Detweiler, West Farmington, Ohio

Delicious and my kids loved it! I used double the amount of Bananas and half and half for the sauce. Easy recipe but very good. Scott

I've made this a lot of times and love it. I think it's excellent. sometimes I'll omit the banana's and add peaches. sometimes I add raisins.

This bread pudding is simple to make, delicious and comfort food at it's finest. I didn't make the sauce prefering a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream on top...yummy!!!

Tried the canned milk, it tasted like sweetened condensed milk. If you like that flavor, you could just use a can of the sweetened milk and just warm it up. I still prefer the taste of the regular milk.

This was one of the first recipes I tried from Taste of Home many years ago and it is still a popular at my house, the vanilla sauce is yummy. I usually add extra vanilla.Going to try using the canned milk suggested.

I have been making this since I discovered the recipe in 94. I think the sauce makes it. I use canned milk in the sauce recipe and it just seems to make it better. My whole family loves this.
