Chop bell peppers and create a layer on top of the peas.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the bell peppers.

Cook and crumble bacon, then layer it on top of the cheese.

In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow flavors to meld.

Before serving, garnish with additional green onions or cheese if desired.
