Sausage & Pancake Bake (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
02 - 1 lb turkey breakfast sausage
03 - 2 cups pancake mix
04 - 1 cup milk
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - ¼ cup maple syrup
07 - ½ tsp ground cinnamon
08 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
09 - 2 tbsp melted butter
10 - Cooking spray

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Turn your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
02 - Cook the turkey sausage in a skillet on medium heat. Stir and break it into pieces as it cooks. Once it's fully browned, drain any leftover grease.
03 - Using a big bowl, mix pancake mix, eggs, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla until it all comes together into a smooth batter.
04 - Take the cooked sausage and shredded cheese, and fold them gently into the batter.
05 - Pour the prepared mixture into your greased pan. Spread the melted butter over the top as evenly as you can.
06 - Bake in your oven for 30 to 35 minutes until it looks golden and a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean.
07 - Let it sit for a bit to cool before cutting into pieces. Serve it warm, and add more maple syrup if you like.
