Wash, dry, and chop the iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place the lettuce in the bottom of a large glass bowl or trifle dish for presentation.

Evenly sprinkle the frozen peas (no need to thaw) as the next layer.

Step 7

In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the dressing.

Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the cheese layer for the final topping.

Step 11

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 6 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
