  4. Transfer the mixture evenly to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Baking
  1. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the potatoes are tender.
