Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (pre-cooked or raw)
  • 2 cups pancake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for greasing the dish)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • Maple syrup or honey, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage: Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease by placing on paper towels. Using pre-cooked sausage can save time.
  2. Make the Pancake Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, eggs, and milk according to the pancake mix directions until smooth and just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy.
  3. Assemble the Casserole: Butter a baking dish. Pour half of the pancake batter evenly into the bottom of the dish. Spread the cooked sausage evenly over this batter layer. Pour the remaining pancake batter on top. Optionally, sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the batter.
  4. Bake until Golden: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Rest and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey if desired, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix batter; stir just enough to combine for light, fluffy pancakes.
  • Use a non-stick baking dish for easier serving and cleanup.
  • Let the casserole rest slightly before cutting for cleaner slices.
  • For make-ahead convenience, assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate.
  • Sprinkle cheese in the last 10 minutes of baking to avoid burning.
