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!

SAUSAGE-PANCAKE STRATA

Ingredients:
12 eggs                                                  
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese       
1/2 tsp. salt
1 pkg. (14.5 oz.) frozen mini pancakes
1 pkg. (7 oz.) frozen maple-flavored brown-n-serve sausage patties (8)
Maple syrup, optional

Directions:
1-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2-Coat rectangular (11"x7" or so) baking dish w/cooking spray
3-Beat eggs w/milk.  Stir in cheese and salt; reserve.
4-Arrange half of pancakes in bottom of dish.  Top w/sausage patties.
5-Pour egg mixture over sausage.  Top w/remaining pancakes.
6-Gently press pancakes into egg mixture to partially coat.
7-Cover w/foil.  Bake 30 minutes.
8-Uncover.  Bake until set, 30-35 minutes.  Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
9-If desired, drizzle w/maple syrup.
10-Enjoy the casserole and the compliments!

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