Use your favorite brand pancake mix or make homemade pancakes and mix in some cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, and maple syrup to make the waffles.

Ingredients
- 2 cups of Hungry Jack Pancake Mix
- 1 1/2 cups of water
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Make Sausage and Cheese Waffles
To start making this easy breakfast recipe, brown 1 lb of breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium high heat. Once the sausage is fully cooked, drain the grease really well and set aside.
Next, mix pancake mix with water according to the directions on the box. Stir in cooked sausage, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup maple syrup.
Spray a mini waffle iron and add a scoop of the pancake mix. Cook in waffle iron until the waffles are golden brown.
I am using a Mini Waffle Maker found on Amazon, but any waffle iron should work with this recipe. If your waffle iron is larger, you will just end up with less waffles.
Repeat until all of the waffles are made.
As the waffles sit they will start to crisp up, but If you want crispier waffles you can toast them in a toaster too!
Serve Sausage and Cheese Waffles
Once the waffles are made, it’s time to eat! Serve with more maple syrup and enjoy! I also like to give my kids some fresh fruit with these.
This made 11 mini waffles.

Going to try an egg between two of these to make a McGriddle knockoff. Think it will be perfect.
I recommend making the eggs in the waffle maker as well! Less dishes and the egg is the same size. 😊
These were awesome! Bought a mini waffle make and just never used it.. until tonight. Thank you!
Absolutely LOVE!
can you make these ahead and warm/crisp up in oven?
Made these and put them in the freezer for quick breakfasts. Heated them in the toaster and they taste amazing!
