How to Make Sausage Breakfast Casserole with Frozen Pancakes
This Overnight Sausage Pancake Breakfast Casserole. It starts with frozen pancakes. This was my very first time purchasing frozen pancakes. They were GREAT in this casserole! You can certainly make your own pancakes, but the frozen pancakes were so easy to use and held up great in the casserole.
Brown some yummy maple sausage in the skillet. Once it is no longer pink, drain the fat. Cut the frozen pancakes in half and place in the baking dish. Sprinkle the cooked sausage on top of and in between the pancakes. Whisk together some eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla, and maple syrup. Pour that over the pancakes and refrigerate overnight. Pop the casserole in the oven in the morning and prepare to be wowed!

Can you share what grocery store in your area sells the maple sausage? I am having a hard time finding it in North Carolina.

Publix, Target, Walmart all sell maple sausage. I used Jimmy Dean sausage. Bob Evans and Johnsonville also sell maple sausage
