Pancake Sausage Casserole
Ingredients:
- 1 roll (16 oz) of breakfast sausage
- 2.5 cups of pancake mix
- Milk (enough to achieve desired pancake batter consistency)
- 1 cup of Mrs. Butterworth syrup
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Sausage:
- In a medium skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat.
- Break up the sausage into small pieces as it cooks.
- Continue cooking until the sausage is browned and cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove the sausage from the pan and drain any excess grease on paper towels. Set aside.
- Prepare the Pancake Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, add 2.5 cups of pancake mix.
- Gradually add milk, about 1/4 cup at a time, and stir until you achieve a smooth batter with a consistency similar to regular pancake batter. This should be pourable but not too thin.
- Stir in 1 cup of Mrs. Butterworth syrup until fully incorporated.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pour the pancake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Add the Sausage:
- Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the top of the pancake batter.
- Gently press the sausage pieces into the batter with a spatula, ensuring they are slightly submerged but still visible on top.
- Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 25-35 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve:
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Cut into squares and serve warm.

How long to cook a pancake on a stick in the oven?
Cooking a pancake on a stick in the oven requires a little adjustment compared to the traditional method on a stovetop griddle. Here is a general guideline for baking pancake on a stick in the oven:
Pancake on a Stick
Ingredients:
- Pancake batter (your favorite recipe or pancake mix prepared according to package instructions)
- Breakfast sausages (pre-cooked)
- Wooden skewers
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Sausages:
- Insert wooden skewers into the pre-cooked breakfast sausages.
- If the sausages are not pre-cooked, cook them thoroughly on a stovetop or microwave them as per package instructions.
- Prepare the Pancake Batter:
- Mix the pancake batter according to your recipe or the instructions on the pancake mix package.
- Dip and Coat:
- Dip each sausage-on-a-stick into the pancake batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Allow any excess batter to drip off.
- Bake:
- Place the batter-coated sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Ensure they are spaced out evenly to avoid sticking together.
- Cook Time:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the pancake batter is golden brown and cooked through.
- You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the pancake coating; it should come out clean when fully cooked.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve with your favorite syrup or dipping sauce.
