Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups pancake mix
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage links
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk (or almond milk)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
  • Non-stick baking spray

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage: Cook the sausage links over medium heat until golden brown. Once cooked, let them cool slightly and then slice into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, milk, and eggs until smooth. The batter should be thick yet pourable for easy layering.
  3. Preheat and grease: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish thoroughly with non-stick baking spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Layer the casserole: Pour half of the pancake batter into the prepared baking dish. Evenly distribute half of the cooked sausage pieces and half of the shredded cheese on top of the batter.
  5. Add second layer: Repeat the layering process by adding the remaining pancake batter, followed by the remaining sausage and cheese. Pour any leftover batter evenly over the top layer.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dish is fragrant.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and drizzle generously with maple syrup before serving warm to enjoy the perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute whole milk with almond milk to make a dairy-free version.
  • Cheese options can be swapped between cheddar or mozzarella depending on your taste preference.
  • For a spicier kick, consider using spicy breakfast sausage or adding a pinch of chili flakes to the batter.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing to help it set and prevent breaking apart.
  • This dish can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking for convenience.
