SAUSAGE-PANCAKE STRATA ("McGRIDDLE" CASSEROLE)

This breakfast casserole is wonderful!  It tastes very similar to a McDonald's Sausage McGriddle sandwich, which is yummy, by the way, if you've never tried one!  I think I got this recipe originally from a Woman's World magazine, gotta give them credit!

(Note:  I couldn't find mini pancakes this time, so I just used regular size and cut them into 1/4s.)
