Pancake Casserole For Breakfast Tailgating

We have so much college football, that now we have it almost every weeknight. We also have an unusually high number of early kickoffs in central time zones. As a result, sometimes the brisket just ain't ready by 11 a.m.. So, maybe it's time for breakfast at the tailgate. (Like it hasn't been done for decades.)

Here's a quick a dirty Pancake Casserole using Bisquick, but you can make your own with a little flour and baking soda.

Ingredients

• 2 cups baking mix (such as Bisquick ®)
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 cup milk
• 5 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 eggs
• 1 ½ tablespoons white sugar

• 12 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. 
2. Mix baking mix, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, milk, maple syrup, eggs, and sugar together in a bowl; pour into prepared pan. 
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle bacon and remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese over casserole; return to oven until cheese is melted, about 5 more minutes.

That sounds yummy!!!
