By LadyRev-2

This has been used in our family for years. It was given to me by Muriel Blodgett who was a secretary at Cross Roads. It really is an outstanding and easy to make recipe.

Ingredients

• For top:
• 9 " springform pan
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 3 Tbsp butter
• 3 Tbsp sugar
• (Or buy a graham cracker pie crust in the supermarket, already made and ready to use)
• 3 - 8 ounce packages cream cheese
• 5 eggs
• 1 1/2 Cup sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 pint sour cream
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

If making crust: Mix crumbs, butter and 2 cups sugar. Press into a 9" springform pan.

Soften the cream cheese. Add eggs, one at a time. Then add 1 cup sugar, vanilla; beat smooth.

Pour mixture over crumb crust, bake 1 hour, 45 minutes. Remove from oven, cool 5 minutes
