Unless you have the time and know-how to make your own, however, you can skip that step and use the Marie Callendar deep dish pie shells. They cost a bit more, but they bake up perfectly every time and the flavor is always dependably good.

Things You'll Need

• 1 Marie Callendar brand deep dish pie shell
• 8 oz. sour cream
• 4 eggs
• 8 oz. grated cheddar cheese
• 6 slices bacon, fried crisp and crumbled
