1 pkg. (8 serving size) instant mashed potatoes
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/3 c. chopped onion
1 egg (beaten)
Salt and pepper to taste

Prepare mashed potatoes according to package directions, reducing water to 2 1/4 cups and omitting salt. Blend cream cheese into hot mashed potatoes. Add onion, egg, salt and pepper; mix well. Transfer to a lightly greased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.

Note: This dish freezes well, so it can be assembled and frozen before baking. Let thaw in refrigerator before baking.
