Description

This Pancake Sausage Casserole combines fluffy pancakes with savory breakfast sausage in a simple, baked dish. Perfect for busy mornings, brunch gatherings, or meal prep, this casserole delivers a satisfying, balanced breakfast with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 8-10 Pancakes (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 lb Breakfast Sausage (or turkey sausage for a leaner option)

  • 4 Large Eggs

  • 2 Cups Milk (or plant-based milk for a dairy-free version)

  • 1/2 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (or your favorite cheese)

  • 1/2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon

  • 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

  • Salt & Pepper to Taste

Optional Toppings:

  • Maple Syrup

  • Fresh Berries

Instructions

Step 1: Brown the Sausage

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. Add the breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.

  3. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned.

  4. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Pancake Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  2. Ensure there are no lumps for an even texture.

Step 3: Assemble the Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

  3. Spread the cooked sausage evenly across the bottom.

  4. Pour the pancake batter over the sausage.

  5. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top.

Step 4: Bake the Casserole

  1. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes.

  2. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

  3. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve warm with maple syrup or fresh berries for added flavor.

  2. Enjoy the combination of sweet, savory, and cheesy goodness!

Notes

  • Meal Prep: Prepare the casserole the night before and bake in the morning for a quick breakfast.
