    This is a tried and true recipe that I have made for over 20 years. It is part of Tammie and my Thanksgiving tradition and one of my family’s favorites. Hope you enjoy!

    Ingredients

    • Crust:
    • 1 ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
    • 3 tablespoons sugar
    • 1/3 cup melted margarine
    • Cheesecake:
    • ¾ cup white sugar
    • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
    • 3 8oz pkgs cream cheese
    • 1 15 oz can pumpkin
    • 1 ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    • 5 eggs

    Directions

    1. Combine crumbs and sugar. Stir in melted margarine until fully blended. Press into bottom of 9” cheesecake pan.
    2. TIPS: The back of a spoon helps smooth and press the crumbs up the sides of the pan.
    3. I leave the pan in the fridge while I prepare the filling to help keep the sides firm.
    4. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
    5. Mix with an electric beater in a large bowl the cream cheese until smooth.
    6. Add sugars gradually.
    7. Add eggs one at a time.
    8. Add pumpkin and spice.
    9. Pour into the prepared crust.
    10. Bake for 1 hour, 45 minutes.
    11. TIPS: Let cream cheese get to room temperature before mixing.
