Pin This RecipeWe’ve made a lot of breakfast casseroles and this Maple Sausage & Waffle Casserole might be our all-time favorite. Sausage, cheese, waffles and maple syrup – what’s not to like?! I assembled this casserole the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight. It smelled so good while it was baking and tasted even better! This casserole was surprisingly light and the waffles were the perfect complement to the syrup. It was absolutely delicious! We ended up pouring a little bit of maple syrup over the casserole when we ate it. This would be the perfect breakfast treat for Mom this weekend.

I made this recipe as written as a dry run for a holiday breakfast contender. My 8X8 foil pan was very full. I also need to cook for longer than 50 mins. We enjoyed it and liked the seasoning. I added 1/2 tsp of salt. Thoughts about cooking times?
Hello … this recipe caught my eye; we love maple sausage and maple bacon around here. I have read through the comments … wondering if those with some challenges on cooking time; what type of oven is in use? Standard or Convection?
Can I use any frozen waffles or does it have to be Eggos?
I would think any frozen waffle brand would work in this recipe.
Do they have to be Eggo waffles or can I use Belgian Frozen Waffles by Krusties?
Has anyone tried this in a slow cooker?
Has anyone tried this in a crock pot?
I haven't made it in the slow cooker, but it should work fine.
Can you use regular syrup if out of maple?
sure
This would adapt well to a more diet friendly casserole with substitutions. I'm going to try it "slimmed down"-will let you know the results.
Jasmin – I've never halved the recipe, but I think it would work in the loaf pan. I do cut the waffles frozen, but you can thaw them. Some people toast the waffles before cutting them also.
To complete my previous thought ^^ I want to half it and bake it in a meatloaf style dish..
What are the measurements if you want to double the recipe? What size dish?
To double a recipe, double the ingredients and bake it in a 9×13-inch pan.
Oooooo I've been looking for different and good breakfast casseroles ! This sounds perfect. Silly question..are you cutting those waffles while frozen? Also, can I half the recipe?? Thanks again. You're the bomb.com lol
I love breakfast dishes like this, thanks for sharing!
Amy – I used real maple syrup.
Did you use "real" maple syrup? Or just regular pancake syrup? I just want to make sure I get the flavor right and it's not too sweet.
Jamie – if your waffles were too soggy, I think toasting them prior to cutting them up would solve that issue.
I made this tonight, and my husband and I loved it! I already started saying how I want to make it for our families on Thanksgiving morning! It was so easy and so tasty!! Thank you for always posting deliciousness!! 🙂
Seriously? I mean, seriously? This looks so amazingly good!
ohmygosh this looks WONderful. A must try. Pinning so I remember.
we're out of waffles but have frozen pancakes, do you think that would work? or would it be/get too mushy? it looks DELICIOUS!!!
oh my, there goes my diet! Yummy.
Umm, this looks yummy. May try it Sunday morning! 🙂
A very cool idea. I'm seeing a lot more recipes using frozen waffles.
Looks delicious and love the idea of waffles instead of bread. It would add a lovely fluffiness to this casserole. I cannot wait to try it out!
