Loaded Mashed Potato Casserole

I was looking for a side to go with the pork chops I baked last night. I was scouring my cabinets and pantry. At the end of the month, it seems that my pantry gets low. I live out in the country and don't get to the grocery store very often. So, I make do as well as possible until the next trip. Anyway, I had a few packets of mashed potato flakes that the hubby brought home a couple of weeks ago. So, I decided to use one and dress it up a little...

2 1/2 cups Mashed Potatoes
3 tbsp Butter
1/2 cup Sour Cream
1 1/2 cups Cheddar Cheese (sharp or medium)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
4 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients except 1/2 cup of cheese and bacon. Place in a casserole dish sprayed with oil. Top with 1/2 cup of cheese and bacon. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and hot.
