Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare pancake mix according to package instructions, except use 1 cup liquid in place of the amount called for on package.
- Add other ingredients to the prepared pancake mix and combine well.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter flavor, consider using ripe, juicy peaches or even substituting them with canned peaches in syrup. If you don't have pancake mix, you can make your own by combining flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. For added texture, try mixing in some chopped nuts. This casserole is inspired by American recipes, making it a delightful breakfast option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful casserole warm, drizzled with extra maple syrup for added sweetness. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or yogurt to balance the flavors. For a heartier breakfast, consider serving it alongside crispy bacon or sausages, like those from Sharon'S Company Sausage, for a complete meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the casserole the night before and refrigerate it. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap. In the morning, bake it directly from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time to ensure it's heated through.
What can I use instead of sausage?
If you prefer a vegetarian option, you can replace the sausage with plant-based sausage or omit it entirely. Adding sautéed vegetables such as bell peppers or spinach can also enhance the dish while keeping it flavorful.
Can I freeze leftovers?
Yes, you can freeze the casserole for up to 2 months. Make sure to let it cool completely before wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then warm in the oven.
