Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups buttermilk pancake mix

Protein

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (bulk or links)
  • 4 large eggs

Dairy

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tbsp butter (for greasing)

Sweetener

  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  2. Cook sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is browned and crumbly. Drain any excess grease to keep the casserole from becoming too greasy.
  3. Mix batter: In a bowl, combine the buttermilk pancake mix, whole milk, and eggs. Stir until just mixed; lumps are acceptable and don’t overmix to keep the batter light.
  4. Incorporate sausage and syrup: Fold half of the pure maple syrup and some of the cooked sausage bits into the batter. This adds a subtle sweetness and savory flavor to the base.
  5. Assemble casserole: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Layer the remaining cooked sausage evenly over this base. Then top with the remaining batter, spreading it evenly.
  6. Bake: Place the dish uncovered in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Bake until the casserole is golden brown and springy to the touch, indicating it’s fully cooked.

Notes

  • Using bulk sausage or removing sausage from links works best for even distribution.
  • Allowing lumps in the batter is intentional to keep pancakes fluffy.
  • Maple syrup can be adjusted based on desired sweetness.
  • Make sure to drain sausage well to avoid excess grease in the casserole.
  • Serve warm with extra maple syrup if desired for added sweetness.
