Sour Cream and Jello


                                                     The first layer with Jello.


                                                  The second layer with sour cream.


         The finished Sour Cream and Jello.


3 small packages of Jello (whatever flavor you want)
Almost 1 whole container (16 oz.) of sour cream (or the whole container if you like lots of sour cream).


Make the Jello and pour about half of the Jello into a 9x13 pan.  Put the pan in the fridge until it sets and leave the other half of Jello in room temperature so it doesn't set immediately.  Once the Jello in the pan is set put the sour cream on top of the Jello layer.  Once you have put the sour cream in the pan and you want to have an easier time putting the final layer of Jello on let the Jello set just enough so that the Jello isn't mostly liquid.  The reason why you might want to do that is because if the Jello isn't somewhat set when you pour it, it will make holes in the sour cream layer.
