Ingredients for Your Pancake Sausage Casserole

Here’s what I’m throwing together to create this mouthwatering casserole:

  • Bulk Pork Sausage: This is *the* star of our show! Go for a flavor-packed option, please.
  • Biscuit or Baking Mix: This is your ticket to fluffy goodness.
  • Milk: I prefer 2% for that nice creaminess without feeling like I just ate a rock.
  • Eggs: These little wonders will help bind all that yumminess together.
  • Canola Oil: Just a smidge to keep things moist and happy.
  • Apples: Pick your favorite kind, peel ‘em, and slice ‘em thin for a sweet touch!
  • Cinnamon Sugar: You can never go wrong with this magical mix, right?

Steps to Make Your Pancake Sausage Casserole

  1. Preheat the Oven: Crank that baby up to 350°F (175°C). It’s about to get cozy in here!
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble that pork sausage and let it cook until it’s brown and sizzlin’. About 5-7 minutes will do! Drain and set aside for later deliciousness.
  3. Prepare the Batter: In a big bowl, mix together the biscuit mix, milk, eggs, and canola oil. Don’t be worried if the batter has some lumps; they give it character, just like me!
  4. Combine Ingredients: Fold in your glorious cooked sausage into the pancake batter. This is where the magic really starts to happen!
  5. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease up a 13×9 inch baking dish and pour in the pancake mixture, spreading it out evenly. Look at you, being all fancy!
  6. Add the Apples: Layer those lovely apple slices on top and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar because we’re all about that extra love!
  7. Bake: Pop it in the oven and let it bake for 30-45 minutes until it’s puffed up and golden brown. Try not to peek too much—the smell is going to tempt you like crazy!
  8. Serve: Drizzle warm maple syrup over each serving. Trust me; it’s the perfect finishing touch that turns delicious into * DIVINE *!
