Advice

Making a delicious cheese casserole is easy. Start by preheating your oven to 350F and coating the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. For the casserole, layer 6-8 cups of cooked macaroni noodles and top with a mixture of 1 can of cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 cup of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a few dashes of salt and pepper. Then top with 1 and 1/2 cups of shredded cheese and 1/2 cup of bread crumbs. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Enjoy!
