Ingredients
  

2 cans (12 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls

1 cup chopped pecans

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Scatter the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.

    Mix the Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined, then sprinkle this mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces in the dish.

      Create the Custard: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces and pecan mixture, ensuring everything is coated.

        Overnight Rest: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight, allowing the casserole to soak up all the flavors.

          Bake the Casserole: In the morning, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the cover and bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the rolls are cooked through.

            Serve: Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your delightful Overnight Sticky Pecan Roll Casserole!
