Cook 1 pound of bacon until crispy.

Chop the lettuce and place it as the first layer in a dish.

Chop the red onion and spread it evenly over the lettuce.

Use a 10-ounce package of frozen green peas that have been thawed and add them as the next layer.

Prepare the dressing by combining 1 cup of mayo, 1/2 cup of sour cream, 2/3 cup of Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of white sugar, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of white vinegar in a bowl and whisk until smooth.

Spread the dressing evenly over the peas layer.

Chop the 8 hard-boiled eggs and layer them on top of the dressing.

Add 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.

Crumble the cooked bacon on top of the cheddar cheese and press it down slightly.

Cover the salad with Saran Wrap and refrigerate overnight for best flavor.
