Ingredients

Scale

Choosing quality ingredients makes all the difference in this casserole. I always pick fresh sausage, preferably from a local butcher or trusted brand, because the flavor really shines through. For the pancakes, simple ingredients like fresh eggs and whole milk keep the batter light and tender. I also like to use sharp cheddar cheese for that perfect melty, slightly tangy finish. Feel free to swap out the sausage for turkey or a vegetarian alternative if you want a lighter version.

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, based on preference)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for a subtle sweetness

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined — a few lumps are okay to keep pancakes tender.
  6. Fold the cooked sausage and half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the batter.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This wait lets the casserole set beautifully for easier serving.
