0.5cupshredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure it doesn't stick.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and thoroughly combined.
Layer the Batter: Pour half of the pancake batter into the greased dish, spreading it evenly.
Add the Sausage: Sprinkle the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage over the pancake batter layer.
Drizzle Maple Syrup: Drizzle maple syrup generously over the sausage, infusing it with sweetness.
Cheese Time (Optional): If you’re feeling cheesy, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage layer.
Top It Off: Pour the remaining pancake batter over the top, covering the sausage and syrup.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set in the center.
Cool and Serve: Once done, let the casserole cool slightly for easier slicing. Serve warm with extra maple syrup on the side!
