Breakfast Casserole Bake
1 lb roll breakfast sausage
10 eggs
3 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 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, salt, pepper, and soup together. Pour into a 9 inch round pie 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.
OR EASY ONE PAN MEAL: if you'd like to make this dish a whole meal, layer two bags of Jimmy Dean Sausage/bacon Breakfast Skillet in a 9X13 inch pan. Remove the sausage from the list. Pour above egg mixture over the Sausage mixture and bake as directed above.
Serving with toast and fruit salad.
