Ingredients

Scale

For the Casserole

  • 2 cups buttermilk pancake mix
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (bulk or links)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp butter (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain off any excess grease to keep the casserole from becoming greasy.
  3. Mix Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, whole milk, and eggs. Stir until just combined; some lumps are okay for a fluffy texture.
  4. Add Flavor: Fold in half of the maple syrup along with some of the cooked sausage pieces to infuse sweetness and savory flavor into the batter.
  5. Layer the Casserole: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Evenly distribute the remaining cooked sausage over this layer, then pour the remaining batter on top.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole feels springy when gently pressed.

Notes

  • You can use either bulk sausage or sliced sausage links depending on preference.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding chopped onions or bell peppers to the sausage while cooking.
  • If you prefer a sweeter casserole, drizzle additional maple syrup on top before serving.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick breakfast option.
