- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1.5 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden on top. Optionally, broil for the last 3-5 minutes for extra browning.

Notes
