  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of cooked bacon, crumbled; 1 (16 ounce) package of shredded cheddar cheese; 1 cup of ranch dressing; and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  3. Add 4 cups of frozen hash browns (thawed or frozen, see note below) to the bowl and mix thoroughly until hash browns are evenly coated.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through, stirring halfway through for even cooking. Note: Frozen hash browns may require slightly longer cooking time.
