- Spread a thin layer of sour cream over the meat.
- Sprinkle top with more of the shredded cheese and if you like any extra chips.

- Remove from oven and let set for 5-8 minutes.

*You do not have to do two different crusts. You can do the ones you like best. When I made this, I wanted to try both and see which was best. Grand Peeps liked both. You can freeze the one you do not eat. You can freeze before baking.
