Instructions

Combine brown sugar, pecans, and softened butter in a small bowl; mash together with a fork.
Place bread cubes in a large bowl. Beat milk, half-and-half, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in another bowl. Pour over the bread and let sit for liquid to absorb, 5 to 10 minutes.
Spray a slow cooker with nonstick spray. Pour 1/2 of the bread mixture into the prepared slow cooker and top with 1/2 of the pecan mixture. Repeat layers once more, then press down slightly.
Cover and cook on Low until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 3 hours.
