Country Cheesecake Bars - Garfield...Recipes with Cattitude Review and Giveaway!

I do believe that this cookbook has to be one of the cutest cookbooks that Gooseberry Patch has published!
Garfield is an all-time favorite cat from years past...but he seems to be just as popular now. I can tell you one thing...he still has the same attitude he's always had, and his love for good food hasn't changed either!

Country Cheesecake Bars

According to Garfield, dieting is a sickness..and cheesecake is the cure!

Top each bar with a spoonful of cherry pie filling

for an extra-special treat!

2/3 cup butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans)

8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup milk

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 tsp lemon zest

4 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

In a bowl, mix buter, brown sugar flour and nuts until crumbly.

Set aside 2 cups of mixture for topping.

Press remaining mixture into the bottom of a greased 13x9 baking pan.

Bake at 325* for 15 minutes; cool.

In a separate bowl, blend together remaining ingredients; pour into baked crust.

Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.

Bake for an additional 25 minutes, until set and topping is golden.

Cover and refrigerate for about one hour; cut into bars.

Makes 2 to 3 dozen.
