Cheesecake Bars



I found this recipe under my washing machine the other day and wished I had put it in the book. I don't even remember where it came from, but I have made them and they are good! (with 3 packages of cream cheese in them, how can they not be!)

3 pkg. of cream cheese
3/4 C. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
1 1/2 C. graham crumbs
1/3 C. butter, melted
3 Tbsp. sugar

Mix cream cheese, 3/4 C. sugar and vanilla until well blended. Add eggs and mix. Mix crumbs, butter and 3 Tbsp. sugar. Press crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 pan, saving out a little to sprinkle on top (optional). Pour cream cheese batter over crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool, then refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight. Cut into bars. Makes 24.

Note: Use aluminum foil in the bottom of pan to make removing the bars easier.

Oops! Sorry about that one. Bake them at 350 degrees.
