      Background

      Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good McDonalds Breakfast! The reality is – it isn’t healthy and is expensive to have often. One of my favorite breakfast dishes there is the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese McGriddle, the flavor of the maple pancake along with the bacon, egg, and cheese is something I have been looking to replicate for a long time. This Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole was just what I was looking for to satisfy my McDonalds craving in the morning.

      Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole Preparation

      This Bacon McGriddle recipe is pretty simple and you may have a majority of the ingredients at home if you make your own breakfasts regularly.

      You can substitute the bacon for sausage, but the bacon is delicious!

      Ingredients you will need include:

      1. Complete pancake mix
      2. Large Eggs
      3. Milk
      4. Shredded Cheese
      5. Cooked and diced Bacon
      6. Maple Syrup
      7. Salt

      Begin with preheating your oven to 350°.

      Next, grease an 11×7 or 8×8 casserole dish (double this recipe for a 9×13 dish if you have a large family or are taking this to a group event). A 11×7 or 8×8 casserole dish serves 6.

      Start mixing the ingredients by combining 3/4 cup of pancake mix, 2 large eggs and 1 cup of milk in a bowl. Whisk until mostly smooth, some lumps are expected and are ok to leave.

      Then add in 2/3 cup of shredded cheese (any kind is ok, I used Colby Jack, since this is what I had in the fridge), 3 strips of cooked, diced bacon, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are coated in the pancake mix.

      Casserole Baking

      Bake the Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.

      Serving Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole

      Wait approximately 5 minutes after the casserole is out of the oven to cut and serve.

      Serve with additional maple syrup to taste.

      Leftover Reheating

      This Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole is a great make-a-head breakfast. I like to make it on the weekends to take to work during the week. It heats up well in the microwave for a quick and easy weekday breakfast.

      I also have a great make-a-head Amazing Egg Casserole. This casserole is delicious, but takes a little more preparation than the Bacon McGriddle Casserole.

      Make Ahead Beef Chop Suey Casserole

      I will always be grateful to have a great example of a hard working Mother while growing up! Dinner wasn’t always easy to plan, and often once I was old enough we had casserole dishes that were made ahead with instructions on them on how to heat them in the oven for myself and my sister. This way at 6:00 when my mom got home we could have dinner as a family. One of my favorites was this Make Ahead Beef Chop Suey Casserole. Some of my other favorites included our Shepard’s Pie and Baked Spaghetti Recipes!

      Preparation For Make Ahead Beef Chop Suey Casserole

      The preparation for this dish doesn’t get much simpler! Combine your undrained bean sprouts, drained water chestnuts, browned ground beef, chopped onion, chopped celery, dry white rice, soy sauce and beef broth in a 9×13 deep dish pan. Mix all ingredients well. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking.

      Baking

      When you are ready to bake your make ahead beef chop suey casserole, preheat your oven to 375°.

      Bake your chop suey covered at 375° for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until it is boiling in the center and rice appears fully cooked.

      Although this casserole is great on it’s own I would recommend to serve it with chow main noodles! They add a little saltiness and crunch. After cooking you can also add soy sauce to taste.
