Do you want a breakfast that is hearty, warm, and delicious? This Pancake Sausage Casserole Recipe is perfect
Ingredients
- 6 pre-made or homemade pancakes
- 1 pound breakfast sausage cooked and crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika optional
Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish lightly with butter.
Cook Sausage
- Cook sausage in a frying pan over medium heat until browned. Crumble and set aside.
Layer Pancakes
- Place half of the pancakes in the bottom of the baking dish. Break them slightly to fit evenly.
Add Sausage
- Sprinkle half of the cooked sausage evenly over the pancakes in the dish.
Add Cheese
- Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese over the sausage layer evenly.
Layer Pancakes Again
- Place remaining pancakes on top of sausage and cheese. Break slightly if needed for even layering.
Add Remaining Sausage
- Sprinkle the rest of the cooked sausage on top of the pancake layer evenly.
Mix Egg Mixture
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika until smooth.
Pour Egg Mixture
- Pour egg mixture evenly over the layered pancakes and sausage in the dish.
Add Remaining Cheese
- Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top. Spread evenly to cover the egg mixture.
Bake Casserole
- Bake in preheated oven for 30–35 minutes until eggs are set and cheese is melted and golden.
Cool and Serve
- Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm with syrup or hot sauce.
Notes
- Use cooked sausage to avoid raw meat in the casserole.
- Pre-made pancakes save time, but homemade pancakes taste best.
- Low heat in the oven ensures eggs cook evenly.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition.
- Serve immediately for best texture, as pancakes may become soft when stored.
