A cozy Pancake and Sausage Casserole that bakes fluffy pancake batter around savory crumbled sausage with a touch of maple sweetness. Perfect for weekend brunch, holidays, or breakfast-for-dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) breakfast sausage, browned and crumbled
  • 2 cups (240 g) pancake mix
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a skillet, cook sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain excess grease.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Spread the cooked sausage evenly in the greased baking dish.
  4. Assemble the Dish: In a bowl, whisk pancake mix, milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, and salt just until combined. Pour the batter over the sausage. Sprinkle cheddar on top if using.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and set in the center.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let rest 5 minutes for cleaner slices.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve warm, with extra maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Cook sausage fully and drain well to avoid a greasy casserole.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the texture light and fluffy.
  • Use buttermilk or buttermilk pancake mix for extra tenderness.
  • Tent with foil near the end if the top browns too quickly.
  • Assemble the night before, refrigerate, then bake in the morning.
