Okay so I had bought a loaf of Italian bread the other day, but wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it. I know, how about just eat it! My kids have been complaining that we are have the same food over and over again. I’m not sure what to think, I am a food blogger and come up with new dishes each week. We hardly have the same dish twice. I think they are a little spoiled. My Bacon Cheeseburger Bread Pudding Bake is a great alternative to a simple cheeseburger.

As my daughter said to me ” All we have is pork, beef, chicken, and fish.” I asked what she wanted “tofu”, I don’t get it. Since all we have is the same old same old, I decided to make up this Bacon Cheeseburger Bread Pudding Bake. My kids still looked at me weird. Which isn’t unusual. Actually this was a very easy make ahead recipe, that would be great for not only spoiled kids but also potlucks or church dinners.

If you serve it the way I did, with ketchup, mustard and pickles, it tastes just like a good old cheeseburger.

METHOD: Brown ground beef and onion. Drain. Cube bread and place half in a greased 9×13 baking dish. Top with cheese, beef/onion mixture and more cheese. Spread the rest of the bread cubes over the beef. Sprinkle the bacon and remaining cheese over bread. Whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour mixture evenly over bread. Allow to rest for at least 1 hour to let the egg/milk mixture soak into the bread. Bake for 35-40 minutes until puffy and golden brown. Serve with your favorite cheeseburger toppings.
