Maple-Bacon Oven Pancakes

This is my friend's Odessa Ayers recipe. She used to make it every week for her seminary students.

1 1/2 cup Bisquick baking mix
1 T. sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
12 slices bacon, crispy fried and crumbled

Heat oven to 425. Grease and flour rectangular baking dish. Beat baking mix, sugar, eggs, milk, and syrup and 1/2 cup of the cheese with hand beater until smooth; pour into dish. Bake, uncovered, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle pancake with remaining cheese and the bacon. Bake uncovered until cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with syrup if desired.
