Instructions

Cook the sausage, crumbling as you do, until it's completely cooked through. Strain of grease, then set it aside.
1 lb ground breakfast sausage
Add the pancake mix and water to a mixing bowl, then whisk together until evenly combined and the batter's smooth.
3 cups complete pancake mix, 2 cups water
Add the bacon, sausage, cheese, and syrup to the pancake batter. Stir everything together just until it's all evenly incorporated.
6-8 slices bacon, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup maple syrup
Spray a 9x13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, then pour the batter into the dish and spread out in an even layer.
Bake at 350° for 30 minutes- just until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Carefully remove the hot dish from the oven, then spread the butter evenly out overtop. Let rest for 5 minutes.
2 tbsp butter
Slice and serve with extra maple syrup drizzled overtop (if desired).

Notes

Feel free to adjust this to your liking by either using all sausage or all bacon.
Make it really easy on yourself and cook the sausage the night before and refrigerate it until you assemble the casserole.
Don't skip the resting time! The casserole needs a few minutes to set up.
