THE BEST HOMEMADE CHEESECAKE

I've been making this cheesecake for years. The recipe came from a parent when my Mom taught school. This is truly The Best Homemade Cheesecake recipe on the planet! Chicken Legs says this is the best dessert that I make. He said other desserts are good, but this is the best!

Filling

• 3 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, softened
