Repeat instructions for another layer. Make 2-3 layers. Finally, bake it uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Sprinkle with chopped green onions to garnish. Serve dish and enjoy!

Notes And Extra Tips

For a very cheesy potato meat pie, you could top it with more shredded cheese after baking. You could also include ranch dressing mix to the potato mixture before baking to make it more flavorful!
