Maple Bacon Pancake

4 oz. bacon
1 C. baking mix
1 1/4 C. shredded cheddar, divided (3/4 C. & 1/2 C.)
1/4 C. maple syrup
2 Tbsp. white sugar
2 eggs

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 inch pie plate.
-Cook and crumble bacon.
-Beat together all but 1/2 C. cheese and bacon until only small lumps remain. Pour into pie plate
-Bake 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Top with bacon and cheese and return to oven. Bake 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Notes: We scrambled some eggs to eat with this because it didn't feel like a breakfast food without them. We also gave Mason additional syrup for dipping. It wasn't great on the reheat, either. We will probably try this again for a special breakfast, only we would include the scrambled eggs in the bacon and cheese when it goes back into the oven.
