Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients

• 2 cups Hidden Foods Pancake Mix

• 1 cup milk

• 2 eggs

• 1–1½ cups cooked sausage or bacon (crumbled or chopped)

• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or your favorite blend)

• Optional add-ins: diced bell peppers, onions, spinach, or green chilies

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven:
   Set your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch or similar baking dish.

2. Prep the meat:
   Cook sausage or bacon until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

3. Mix the base:
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, and eggs until smooth. The mixture should resemble a thick batter.

4. Add fillings:
   Stir the cooked sausage or bacon and shredded cheese into the batter. If using optional veggies, fold those in as well.

5. Assemble:
   Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

6. Bake:
   Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and serve:
   Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for breakfast, brunch, or meal prep.
