9 x 12 baking dish or your favorite casserole dish – spray lightly with cooking oil (unless it is a non-stick pan)

INGREDIENTS:

Slice the onions and sauté in the butter until tender/translucent

Cook pasta according to the al’dente directions

Make mashed potatoes (both packages) according to directions

Layer 1/3 of the butter and onion mixture on top of noodles
Layer the mashed potatoes
Layer the remainder of the butter/onions on top

BAKE:  350o  for 35 minutes (until bubbly), then turn on the broiler and brown the top for about 10 minutes (until just golden brown).

Remove from oven and let sit for 20
