My mother cut this recipe out of a newspaper and I copied it because I love pecan pie. I had some hamburger buns in the freezer that needed to be used, so I substituted them for the French bread. Turned out wonderful! It is not really like a pudding. My family did not put on any toppings -- they loved it and quickly asked for seconds. The next day it was just as good even though it was room temperature and still no toppings!
