As you are no doubt aware, I never post recipes here. So I don't know if I've offered this one before, and I'm irritated that I didn't think to do so until it was too late to be of use this Thanksgiving. But this recipe comes from one of those self-made company recipe books from decades, ago, the kind that company men's wives all submitted their favorites to and someone typed up and bound inexpertly and my mother still has somewhere. I have the recipe on a scrap of paper, because it's really simple.

This cheesecake is not a New York style cheesecake, and in fact I prefer it to any other cheesecake I've ever had. It's not dense and dry, but creamy and cheesy. And the sour cream topping adds something lovely. So here you go: cheesecake that many of my non-cheesecake-loving friends have enjoyed.

So that's it! I hope someone tries this out and enjoys it--it's one of the only things I make and it'd be great to spread it around a little.
