  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese Melts beautifully and adds rich flavor.
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup Creamy base that ties all ingredients together.
  • 1/2 cup Milk To thin out the soup and create a creamy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder For an extra layer of flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper For a hint of spice.
