Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups buttermilk pancake mix
Meat
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (bulk or links)
Dairy & Eggs
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp butter (for greasing)
Syrup
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large baking dish with the butter to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is browned and crumbly. Once cooked, drain any excess grease to keep the casserole from becoming too oily.
- Mix Batter: In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk pancake mix, whole milk, and eggs. Stir until just mixed; some lumps are okay for a fluffy texture.
- Incorporate Sausage and Syrup: Fold half of the maple syrup and some of the cooked sausage bits into the batter gently to combine flavors.
- Layer the Casserole: Pour half of the batter mixture into the prepared baking dish, spread evenly. Then layer the remaining sausage pieces on top, followed by pouring the remaining batter over the sausage layer.
- Bake: Place the casserole uncovered in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a springy texture when pressed.
Notes
- You can use either bulk sausage or chopped links according to your preference for texture.
- For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle remaining maple syrup on top before serving.
- The casserole is best served warm but can be refrigerated and reheated for leftovers.
- If you don’t have maple syrup, honey or agave can be a substitute.
- Make sure to drain excess grease from the sausage to keep the casserole from becoming greasy.
