• 2 cups pancake mix
• 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions:

1. Cook the bacon in a skillet until it's crispy. Remove it from the skillet, drain on paper towels, and chop it into small pieces.

3. Pinky Link Sausage:

Ingredients:

• Wilders Pinky link sausages (the desired amount)
• Cooking oil (for pan-frying or grilling)

1. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add a small amount of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
2. Place the pinky link sausages in the skillet or on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they're nicely browned and cooked through.
