Add the sautéed onion and butter mixture to the bowl and mix well.

Stir in 16 oz of shredded cheddar cheese, reserving some for topping, along with 2 teaspoons of salt and 3 teaspoons of black pepper.

Spread the mixture evenly in a greased baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

After 45 minutes, remove from the oven and top with reserved cheese.

Return to the oven to melt the cheese for 5 minutes.

If the cheese isn't melted to your liking, broil on 450°F for 3 minutes.
