Pancake Sausage Breakfast Bake

Pancake Sausage Breakfast Bake – The Perfect Sweet & Savory Combo!

Think layers of fluffy pancake, crispy sausage, and melted cheddar (if you want), all baked into a warm, comforting breakfast casserole. It’s great for weekends, holidays, or feeding a hungry crowd!

👉Ingredients (Serves 6–8):

1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)

2 cups pancake mix

1 cup whole milk

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp melted butter

2 tbsp pure maple syrup (optional)

½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Nonstick cooking spray or softened butter (for greasing)

👉Directions:

✅️1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

✅️2. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

✅️3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage. Break it up as it cooks until fully browned. Drain off the excess grease.

✅️4. In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, egg, vanilla, melted butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Don’t overmix—some lumps are okay.

✅️5. Pour half the batter into the prepared dish. Spread the cooked sausage evenly over it, then sprinkle with cheddar if you're using it. Pour the rest of the batter on top to cover.

✅️6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.

✅️7. Let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm—with extra maple syrup if you like!
