Sausage Dipped Pancakes

Ingredients:

1 lb ground breakfast sausage

1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese

2 cups pancake mix

1 ½ cups milk (or as directed on pancake mix)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Butter or oil for cooking

Maple syrup for serving

Directions:

Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.

Make Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, prepare pancake mix according to package instructions (usually mixing with milk and eggs). Stir in vanilla extract if desired for extra flavor.

Add Sausage and Cheese: Gently fold cooked sausage and shredded cheese into the pancake batter until evenly distributed.

Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 2–3 minutes), then flip and cook an additional 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve: Stack pancakes, drizzle with maple syrup, and serve warm for a sweet and savory breakfast treat.
