During the school week, things are always rushed and breakfasts are pretty much on the go, so I always make an effort to cook a “good” breakfast on the weekends.  My kids love pancakes, but I’m a multi-tasker and I get impatient sitting there waiting for the pancakes to cook which more than once has resulted in burnt pancakes.  I got this recipe for puffed pancakes from my friend Marci’s blog – On My Menu – about a year ago.  I LOVE this recipe because it is super easy to make and you can leave it in the oven and do other things while it’s cooking!

Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients:
1/2 stick butter (I have used margarine and it worked out fine…)
6 eggs
1 cup Milk
1 Cup Pancake Mix (or Bisquick)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 Degrees. Place butter in a 9 X 13 inch pan. Put in preheating oven until butter is melted. In a blender, combine eggs, milk and pancake mix. Pour batter into baking dish. Bake for a bout 15 – 18 Minutes until pancakes are puffy and lightly browned. Do not open oven while pancakes are cooking. Top with sifted powder sugar.

Serve with warm maple syrup or fruit toppings.

Look what’s cooking in my oven right now!  It will be ready in an hour and I can’t wait!  This sausage breakfast casserole recipe is a family favorite and is super easy to throw together!  You can even make it the night before and store it in the refrigerator overnight!  I usually make this for Christmas morning at our house and for other special occasions like Father’s Day, but this morning I made it just because!

Here’s what you need to make this yummy recipe:
1 lb of Italian pork sausage, (then cooked, drained, crumbled)
1 bag diced potatoes
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
10 eggs slightly beaten
4 cups whole milk
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp onion powder
Fresh ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
1/2 cup peeled, chopped tomatoes (optional)

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Brown the sausage and crumble into smaller pieces. Set aside. Spray a 9X13 glass baking pan with non-stick spray. Place the bag of potatoes in the bottom of the pan and sprinkle with some cheese. Beat the eggs slightly and then add the milk, dry mustard, salt, and onion powder, and mix together. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle the sausage over the top of the egg mixture. Cover with cheese.

Bake uncovered for approximately 1 hour until the egg mixture is well cooked.
