Easy Cheesecake

 This is your basic and easy cheesecake recipe. We made one last night and it came out nicely.



Filling:

2 packages of 8 ounce cream cheese at room temp.
1 cup of sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Crust:
1 and half cups of graham cracker crumbs.  I buy graham crackers and put in my food processor and process until crumbs.
1 stick of butter
1 tablespoon of white sugar.
 one pie pan or a spring form pan. I used a pie pan this time. I wanted a thick cheesecake.

Preheat oven to 350.


Melt the butter.  Add the sugar to the crumbs. Add to the melted butter. Press on the bottom and sides of your pan. 

Using an egg  beater, mix the cream cheese, eggs, vanilla and sugar. Beat until well mixed

Pour over crust and bake.  If using a pie pan bake for about an hour and 15 minutes. If using a  spring form bake for about 55 minutes.  Let cool completely before cutting into it, otherwise you'll have cheesecake pudding. Let cool for about 15 minutes on the counter, then in the freezer for about 15 minutes.   If u want to eat it soon.
