Mix sugar, eggs, milk and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Pour over cubed bread in a large mixing bowl and allow to rest for 10 minutes. In another bowl, blend and crumble the brown sugar, butter and chopped pecans. Pour the bread mixture into a large greased baking pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar and pecan mix over the top and bake in an oven preheated to 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes. Serve warm, topped with Bourbon Sauce.
