Thanks Allifunn.
This was delicious and I love the idea of prepping it the night before.
Going to try it this year around the holidays.

Just curious, have you ever tried it with multiple layers of bread in a smaller baking dish?

Did Afunn buy Snapperhead's?

That is some seriously good sounding stuff.
