  • 1/2 cup butter, this is 1/2 of a regular block

  • In a large skillet, heat the butter on medium heat and add the onion and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Cook until soft, 10-15 minutes.
  • Place 4 noodles in an even layer on the bottom of the baking dish. Layer 1/2 of the onion over the noodles then layer 1/2 of the mashed potatoes over the onion, then 1/2 cup of cheese.
  • Repeat with another layer of noodles, remaining onion, remaining potatoes, and 1/2 cup of cheese.
  • Place the last noodles on the top and the remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve hot.
