Cheesecake Bars

1 1/3-1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs

1 tbsp sugar

4 tbsp melted butter

16 oz cream cheese

1 c sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp lemon juice

3 eggs

1 c sour cream

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1 tbsp sugar, and 4 tbsp melted butter. Press into an 8 x 8" baking pan (for easy clean up, line pan with foil before pressing in crumbs). Bake for 10 minutes. While crust is baking, prepare filling by beating cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Blend in sour cream. Pour over baked crust and bake for 70 minutes. Turn oven off, leave door slightly ajar, and leave cheesecake in oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
