Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage, casings removed if using links
  • 2 cups pancake mix
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter, plus more for greasing
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Cook sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking into crumbles, until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain fat and set aside.
  2. Whisk pancake mix, milk, eggs, melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon (if using), and salt just until combined. A few lumps are fine.
  3. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Layer half the sausage on the bottom, pour batter over, and top with remaining sausage. Press some crumbles lightly into the batter.
  4. Bake at 375°F for 35–40 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let rest 5 minutes.
  5. Cut into squares and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve warm.

Notes

Assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate. In the morning, bake straight from the fridge, adding 5 to 10 minutes to the bake time.
