Sausage and Pancake Breakfast Casserole

This Sausage and Pancake Breakfast Casserole combines fluffy pancakes, savory sausage, and melty cheese into one hearty, crowd-pleasing bake—perfect for weekends, holiday brunches, or meal prepping for the week.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 to 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 cooked pancakes (homemade or frozen/reheated)
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey), cooked and crumbled
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups milk (whole, 2%, or your choice)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite blend)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Butter or nonstick spray for greasing the baking dish
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped green onions
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it browns. Once fully cooked, drain excess grease and set aside.
  3. Layer the pancakes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Tear or cut them into chunks if you prefer more even bites.
  4. Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the pancake layer.
  5. Add the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar over the sausage layer.
  6. Make the egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper (plus garlic powder if using).
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole, making sure it soaks into all the layers.
  8. Top with green onions, if using, for a little extra color and flavor.
  9. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden on top.
  10. Cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired!

Notes

Make it ahead by assembling the night before and refrigerating. Add your favorite cheese, veggies, or swap sausage for bacon or plant-based options.
