Egg and Sausage Casserole Bake

1 lb roll breakfast sausage

8 eggs

3 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 (10 oz) can cream of mushroom soup

1 tsp each salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350F. Brown and drain the sausage.  In a separate bowl, soften the cream cheese in microwave for 10 seconds. Mix cream cheese, eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and soup together. Pour into a 9x13 inch pan. Softly shake pan a little to let egg mix settle down and let air out. Sprinkle cheese on top. Bake until center reaches 165F temp, is brown on top, and sets up - about 40-60 minutes. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
