A pancake sausage casserole is a baked breakfast dish that layers cooked sausage and pancake batter into a single dish, creating a mix of sweet and savory flavors. It’s soft, fluffy, and full of golden-brown goodness, often topped with syrup or butter before serving. Think of it as your favorite breakfast platter baked into a hearty casserole — with fewer dishes to clean.
1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
2 cups pancake mix
1 ½ cups milk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Non-stick spray or butter for greasing
Maple syrup or powdered sugar for serving
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together pancake mix, milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth. The batter should be slightly thicker than standard pancake batter.
Pour half of the pancake batter into the prepared baking dish. Evenly spread the cooked sausage on top, then pour the remaining batter over it. Use a spatula to smooth out the surface.
Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
