Brown Sugar French Toast Breakfast Casserole and Bread Pudding

This is one of my favorites, especially at the holidays. Make it the night before and stash in the fridge til morning. There are tons of breakfast casseroles out there, but what I love about this one is the brown sugar/butter on the bottom. So if you are tempted to skip that part, please reconsider. It is the little things that make all the difference.

Also, you can serve this after dinner as a bread pudding dessert. And I love a duel purpose recipe!
