Ingredients
3 8oz Packages of Philadelphia Cream Cheese
3 Eggs
3/4 Cup Sugar
6 Graham Crackers (full pieces), pulverized into crumbs
3 Tablespoons of Stick Butter, melted








Instructions:
Allow Cream Cheese to get to room temperature.
Open cream cheese and place in large bowl.

Mix until sugar and cream cheese are well blended.
Add the 3 eggs one at a time. After adding an egg, blend, then add the other etc.
In a separate bowl, add graham cracker crumbs and melted butter.
Mix well as this will form your crust.
Choose a pan or small crock type cooking pan that will fit in the bottom of your crock-pot with room left on the side. You want to be able to pull the pan out without too much difficulty.
Add the graham cracker crumbs mixture to the bottom of the pan.
With a spoon, pat the graham crackers out til you have a smooth layer.
Add the cream cheese mixture to the top of the graham crackers.
Add 2 to 3 cups water to the bottom of the crock-pot. You need enough to last 2 hours but not too much that it will get in your pan.
Place the cheesecake pan in the crock-pot and place the lid of the crock-pot on.
Cook on high for 2 hours to 2 hours and 30 minutes or until the center does not have a watery consistency when you stick a knife into it.

Crockpot Bacon Cheese Potatoes



 















Crockpot Bacon Cheese Potatoes

4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced (or if you use a new potato or Yukon gold then halve)
1/2 pound cheddar cheese, thinly sliced (shredded is fine)
salt and pepper
butter
Green Onions (optional)
Instructions
Line crockpot with foil, leaving enough to cover the potatoes when finished – this will help to not stick and to steam the potatoes – also to keep them from getting discolored or mushy.
Layer half each of the bacon, onions and potatoes in the crockpot.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and dot with (real) butter.
Repeat layers of bacon, onions, potatoes and cheese. Dot with butter.
Cover with remaining foil.
Cover and cook on low for up to 6 hours (check at 4 hours – depending on your crock pot).
