Ingredients
5 onions, finely chopped
12 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package directions
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter

1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

2. In a skillet over medium heat, saute the onions with butter, salt and pepper until the onions are brown and soft.
3. Place a single layer of cooked lasagna noodles in the bottom of the casserole dish. Evenly spread 1/2 of the mashed potato on top of the noodles. Spread 1/2 of the buttered onion on top of the potatoes, then sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded cheese on top. Repeat layers once more, then top with a final layer of noodles and the remaining cheddar cheese.
4. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
For the mashed potatoes
