Sour Cream Cheesecake 
Recipe courtesy of HollysHints.com
 From Holly
300º, 40 Minutes

 


This makes a 9x13 cake.  Go ahead & make the full size recipe (it can be cut in 1/2) because it freezes very well - for up to 3 months.  I cut it up into 2"x2" squares and put pieces in several small freezer containers to thaw out as needed.
Crust:
Combine & press into a 9"x13" pan

1 stick margarine or butter
1/4 cup sugar
1-3/4 cup graham cracker crust

 

Filling:
Mix these ingredients and pour over the cracker crust
5 eggs
3- 8 oz. boxes of cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 pint (8 oz.) sour cream
Bake at 300 degrees for 40 minutes. 

Remove from the oven for 10 Minutes.

Topping:  Mix together - 1 pint (16 oz) sour cream
                                          6 Tablespoons sugar
                                          1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Pour the this on top - return to oven for 10 more minutes.
Cool & then refrigerate.

HINT: To prevent cheesecakes from splitting during the cooling process, leave them in the oven with the door propped open slightly.  Place a shallow pan of water on the rack underneath it.
