- 1⁄4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

Awesome recipe! I made it yesterday for dinner and my husband and I both loved them. The only note that I have is that the potatoes were not done after 45 minutes so I had to microwave them. I would not recommend that just because it makes the shells very soft and easy to tear. Thanks for the great recipe:)
