Baked Pancakes With Sausage

From Allrecipes.com. This is a easy way to make pancakes without having to constantly flip. It's also really easy to make. Some of the reviewers on Allrecipes said they used bacon insted of sausage and some recommended leaving the meat out and using berries. Both sounded like good ideas. I'm not sure how well pancake mix would do in this recipe as I've never tried it. I have halved this recipe.
