Ingredients

Scale

For the Casserole:

1 roll (1 lb) sausage
2.5 cups pancake mix
Milk (enough to reach desired consistency)
1 cup Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup (or any maple syrup)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Brown the sausage, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.
Once fully cooked, drain excess grease and set the sausage aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Pancake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix and milk.
Stir well, adjusting the amount of milk until the batter reaches a smooth and pourable consistency.
Mix in 1 cup of syrup, ensuring it’s fully incorporated into the batter.

Step 3: Assemble the Casserole

Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
Pour the prepared pancake batter evenly into the dish.
Evenly sprinkle the cooked sausage crumbles over the top.

Step 4: Bake the Casserole

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, optionally drizzling extra syrup on top for added sweetness.

Notes

The amount of milk needed will vary based on the type of pancake mix used. Adjust until the batter is smooth and pourable.
If the casserole starts browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil to prevent over-browning while allowing it to cook through.
For a fluffier texture, let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes before baking.
Use a 9×13-inch baking dish for even cooking and easy serving.
