GARLIC BREAD

Best-ever garlic bread 

1/2 loaf French bread 

1-1/2 sticks margarine 

2 teaspoons minced garlic 

1/2 teaspoon onion powder 

1 or 2 pinches salt 

Cut bread lengthwise down the middle. In large skillet melt the margarine and add remaining ingredients. Saute for 5 minutes, stirring to keep salt from bottom of the pan. Spoon evenly over the bread. 

Cut bread into 4- to 6-inch hunks, and place them on thin pizza pans or cookie sheets. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Toast until the bread is the right shade of brown and serve immediately.
