Ingredients
- 6 cups mashed potatoes
- 12 ounces extra wide egg noodles
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 10 tablespoons butter, separated
- 18 slices American cheese
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the egg noodles in salted, boiling water for the shortest time suggested on the package. Drain and rinse under cold water until cooled; drain completely.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Slice all but 2 tablespoons of the butter into thin slices.
- Saute the onion in one tablespoon of the butter in a pan over medium heat until softened, about five minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Spread ⅓ of the mashed potatoes evenly into the baking dish, top with ⅓ of the noodles, ⅓ onions, 9 slices American cheese (plus ⅓ cup of the cheddar, if using), and ⅓ of the sliced butter scattered on top. Repeat two more layers.
- Cover with aluminium foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
