Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Break it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon, then drain any excess fat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, eggs, maple syrup, butter (melted), salt, and cinnamon (if using). Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Pour half of the pancake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the batter layer in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining pancake batter over the sausage layer, spreading gently to cover.
Place the casserole into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm with additional maple syrup drizzled on top, if desired.
