Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 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 the baking dish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large baking dish thoroughly with butter to prevent sticking and help with browning.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is browned and crumbly. Drain off any excess grease to avoid a greasy casserole.
  3. Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk pancake mix, whole milk, and eggs. Stir until just mixed; some lumps are fine for a fluffy texture.
  4. Add Syrup and Sausage: Fold half of the pure maple syrup and some of the cooked sausage bits into the batter, evenly distributing the flavors.
  5. Layer the Casserole: Pour half of the batter into the greased baking dish, layer the remaining cooked sausage on top, then pour the remaining batter over the sausage layer to create a layered effect.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and springs back when lightly pressed.

Notes

  • You can use either bulk sausage or remove the casing from links for the best texture.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set.
  • For added flavor, you can sprinkle some shredded cheese on top before baking.
  • This dish can be made ahead and reheated for a quick breakfast.
  • Adjust the maple syrup quantity to your preferred level of sweetness.
