Spread the mashed potatoes over the stuffing and gravy layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes.
Dot the top with small pieces of butter for extra richness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25β30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish, if desired.
