Directions

Preheat oven to 325.

Line a 13x9 in pan with foil...with ends of foil extending over sides of pan.

Mix crumbs, butter and 2 tsp. of the sugar; press firmly into bottom of prepared pan.

Beat cream cheese, 1 cup of remaining sugar, and 1 tsp. of the vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.

Add 1 cup of the sour cream; mix well.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until blended.

Pour over crust.

Bake for 40 min. or until center is almost set.

Meanwhile, mix remaining sour cream, 2 tbsp. sugar, and 1 tsp. vanilla until very well blended; carefully spread over cheesecake after the it has baked its 40 min (or until it is almost set).

Bake an additional 10 min.

Refrigerate for 4 hours.
