Add the beef in an even layer (tearing into bite-sized pieces before adding); season with salt and pepper. Tightly cover the trays with foil and bake 28 to 30 minutes, or until thickened and the beef is cooked through. Remove from the oven; carefully remove the foil. Let stand at least 3 minutes before serving. Serve the baked trays topped with the cheese, sour cream, and as much of the pepper as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.
