Cheese Cake

I finally called Megan Grant and got this recipe.  And I learned it was Aunt Kathy's. ( I can't remember if that's how you spell her name or not.) This took me a good part of the day, so there are a lot of pictures, I figured that might help. Here we go!


Graham Cracker Crust
1 1/4 C graham crackers crushed. Usually about one pack. Not box...pack.
1/4 C sugar
5-6 T butter melted

Mix together press into pan or shell.
Bake @ 375 for 6-8 minutes, or until browned. Then cool.


Aunt Kathy's Cheese Cake
Filling
2 pks. cream cheese 8 oz
1/2 C sugar
Mix then add:
1 sour cream 16 oz
2 eggs beaten
1 tsp vanilla
Beat well then pour onto crust.
Bake @ 350 for 30 minutes. Let cool
( I left it in the oven for about an hour, that usually helps cheese cakes in general set up better)


Topping
1 sour cream 16 oz
2 T sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Mix then pour onto cool pie.
Bake @ 350 for an additional 5 minutes. Let cool and put in fridge to chill.

Here's a couple more pictures of the finished product. I used an actual pie pan thing where the outside comes off. A regular pie tin is too small. And you probably don't have to use tin foil, I just experimented with it.
