3. Mix Soup and Cheese: In a large bowl, combine the French onion soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Mix until well blended.

7. Top with Cheese: Add the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top of the breadcrumbs for extra cheesiness.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
