I gave it 10 points but...I extra chopped garlic powder, pun intended. Some people think its too sweet so cut back at least a tablespoon. I added garlic cheddar chunks because I like cheddar & I wanted some extra melted cheese. This came out so good I took minutes to prepare. Even my husband who dislikes casseroles thinks this is a winner! He said its better than his memory cookie recipe (thank you Mason!)
