Cheater'S New York Style Cheesecake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 graham cracker pie crust, ready-made
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation

Combine the sour cream, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a mixer for one minute. Add the cream cheese and mix until smooth. Add the melted butter and mix a few seconds longer.
Pour into ready-made pie crust ( I use the larger ones with the 2 extra servings) and bake at 325 degrees F for 45 minutes.
If you want to brown the top, turn on the broiler and watch it. If you look away, it will burn.
Cool for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator. Overnight is better. Cut into thin slices. It is cheesecake after all.
We prefer it plain, but feel free to add the topping of your choice.
