Ingredients you need

• Pancake mix- Use your favorite pancake mix.
• Eggs and milk- However much your pancake mix calls for
• Maple syrup- Pure maple syrup is preferred but you can use pancake syrup if that is what you have on hand. 
• Eggs- Of course you need eggs for these delicious sandwiches.
• Cooked sausage patties-  I like to use the frozen precooked ones from Walmart or Aldi, they taste very close to McDonalds.
• Slice of American cheese–  You can use any flavor cheese you like but the mild american cheese seems to work best.

Yes! You can use regular breakfast pork sausage, hot, sage, turkey breakfast sausage, whichever is your favorite will work in this recipe.

This is the best recipe to double to triple!  These are great to prep ahead for the week or freeze for later on.
