Toss onions with garlic powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a 9x13” baking dish. It might seem super full, but they will wilt and cook down in the oven.

Grate both kinds of cheese and toss together.

Get the butter out of the freezer and carefully grate it. (I like to grate the butter because I find it does a better job of coating the onions instead of dotting the top with larger cubes.)
