Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Repeat the layers and seasoning.

To eat today:
Bake at 350 for one hour or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.

Freezing Directions:
Assemble as directed above but do not bake. Make sure the potatoes are covered by other ingredients if possible (so they don’t blacken). Cover tightly with foil, label, and freeze. Freeze 1/2 cup cheddar with each dish.
To cook from frozen:
Thaw overnight.
Remove bag of cheese, set aside and recover with foil.
