A comforting breakfast casserole combining fluffy pancakes, savory sausage, and sweet maple syrup into a delicious layered dish perfect for brunch or any hearty meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups pancake mix
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • ½ cup maple syrup (plus more for serving)
  • Butter or oil for greasing the skillet

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together pancake mix, milk, and egg until smooth. Let batter sit 5 minutes.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Pour batter to make small to medium pancakes. Cook until bubbles form and edges set, flip and cook until golden brown. Make at least 6 pancakes.
  4. Grease a baking dish. Layer pancakes, cooked sausage, and drizzle maple syrup. Repeat layers, finishing with a pancake on top. Optionally, pour more maple syrup on top.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake casserole 10-15 minutes to meld flavors and warm through (optional).
  6. Slice and serve warm with additional maple syrup.

Notes

  • Add chopped apples or blueberries between layers for sweetness.
  • Use turkey or plant-based sausage for leaner or vegetarian options.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg into pancake batter for warm spice.
  • Adding shredded cheese between layers adds a savory twist.
  • To keep pancakes from soggy texture, layer with syrup moderately and bake to set layers.
