*Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2013. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

What do you get when you cross a sweet breakfast food with savory breakfast food? A dish that can be made in advance and tastes AMAZING? Why... my Waffle and Sausage Bread Pudding, of course. 🙂

The results were completely delicious and a huge hit with family and friends. It can be made a day or two in advance of baking and serving so it's also a hostess's best friend.

Imagine this as your breakfast casserole that will help ring in the new year! If you ask me, there is no more delicious way to start 2014!
