Ingredients
  

sausage links
  • 12 breakfast sausage links
pancake batter
  • 2 cup pancake mix
  • 1.5 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
to finish
  • 1 powdered sugar for dusting

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prep and preheat
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  2. Cook sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until browned on all sides.
Assemble the casserole
  1. Arrange the browned sausage links in a single layer in the baking dish.
  2. Whisk pancake mix, milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Pour the pancake batter over the sausage links.
Bake and serve
  1. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the pancake batter is set, golden, and the edges are pulling away from the dish.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with warm maple syrup.

Notes

Pro tip: let the casserole rest 5 minutes before slicing so the puffed pancake texture sets. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days and reheat in a 325°F oven until warmed through. Freeze yes—wrap tightly and freeze up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat milk while keeping the same bake time range.
