Grandma Squires Cheesecake

 

Grandma Squires Cheesecake 

Grandma Squires, Jason’s grandma, gave us this recipe and we immediately went home and made it!  It is more of a pudding pie style of cheesecake (versus something more firm), but I love that it is completely homemade and can be put together so quickly.  

Crust: 
One package of graham crackers, smashed
One stick of butter, melted

Filling: 
One block of cream cheese, softened
One can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 C. lemon juice
1 tsp. Vanilla 

Optional – strawberries, chocolate or caramel sauce, pecans, etc. 

Mix together melted butter and graham crackers, press into greased pan and set aside.  Beat the filling ingredients together, pour into crust and chill for minimum 4-5 hours and ideally overnight.  Garnish as desired and enjoy!

shredded meat of your choice, I loved doing this with Ranch Chicken Tacos
cheese 
corn tortillas
cooking spray
toothpicks 

Preheat oven to 375.  Spray cookie sheet, microwave tortillas until soft and pliable.  I did six tortillas for 30 seconds and it was the right amount.  (Less and they’re prone to breaking). Fill with meat, sprinkle with cheese, close with a toothpick and then spray the tops with cooking spray.  Cook for 15-20 minutes.  These are SO delicious and feel special, even though they are so easy.  It was a great way to use up leftover slow cooker meat and makes the food more portable, somehow.  Yum!  Can’t wait to make this again.

I remember my mom making this for us when we were kids.  My kids also thought it was delicious!

pasta sauce
mozzarella 
toppings, if desired

Preheat oven to 400, spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray.  Arrange pasta on cookie sheet, spoon on sauce and sprinkle generously with mozzarella. Add any toppings desired and cook for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted. Let rest for five minutes or so before cutting into squares.
