BASIC CHEESECAKE

1 c. graham crackers, crushed
3 tbsp. butter
Sugar as desired

FILLING:

16 oz. cream cheese
1 c. sugar
1 c. sour cream
3 eggs, beaten

To make crust use plastic bag and rolling pin to crush your own crackers, or buy the graham cracker crumbs. Melt your butter and use a fork to combine in a bowl. Press onto bottom and sides of greased springform pan. Refrigerate until filling ready.
For filling beat all ingredients at fairly high speed. Also add approximately 1/4 cup of liquor for flavoring (Kahlua, Grand Marnier, Amaretto) if desired.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or so. Cover top with aluminum foil to keep from browning. Refrigerate 4-5 hours or more before serving.
