Ingredients

8-10 Pancake Mix (store-bought or homemade)

1 lb Breakfast Sausage

4 Large Eggs

2 Cups Milk

1/2 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1/2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon

1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Salt & Pepper to Taste

Optional Toppings: Maple Syrup, Fresh Berries

Instructions

  • Brown the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Set aside.

  • Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together pancake mix, milk, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps.

  • Assemble the Casserole: Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and layer the cooked sausage at the bottom. Pour the pancake batter over the sausage and top with shredded cheddar cheese.

  • Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 35-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

  • Serve and Enjoy: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before slicing and serving with maple syrup and fresh berries, if desired.

Notes

  • Gluten-Free Version: Use a gluten-free pancake mix and check that the sausage is gluten-free.

  • Dairy-Free Option: You can use plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.

  • Vegetables: Add bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.

  • Alternative Meats: Try using turkey sausage for a leaner option.

  • Cheese Variations: Swap the cheddar cheese for mozzarella, gouda, or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.

  • Individual Servings: You can bake the casserole in muffin tins for single servings.
