Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and starting to brown.

Add a small salad and some fruit and you've got an easy meal!

**Istill think when I read it each time that it is too much garlic powder, but I have tried with less and it really does need that much.

I also don't know why the sugar is there, but the taste is not the same without it!
