Banana Foster Bread Pudding image

As a southern girl from New Orleans, I have always loved bread pudding and banana's foster... why not combine the two? I made it for the first time for our 35th wedding anniversary celebration and it was a huge hit. This recipe serves alot of people and can be made ahead and frozen. Enjoy!
