Bacon Cheesecake

While this sounded like it would be yummy... It was WAY to bacon-y.. While the birthday boy enjoyed it if I had to make this again I would say decrease the bacon by at least HALF and prolly drizzling it with some sort of maple syrup would probably be really good. Anyway... Here it is!

What you will need:
1/3 Cup of melted butter
1 Box of cinnamon graham crackers or 1½ Cup crushed cinnamon graham crackers
26 oz, 3¼ packages, cream cheese
One 14oz. can sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 pounds of bacon, cooked and crumbled (yet 3lbs is to much)

What you will do:
I cooked my bacon in batches in the oven because I hate frying it, but the first step is to cook the bacon. So, take a cookie sheet and cover it with aluminum foil and place the strips of bacon on it to cook at ohhh say 400ish for about 15-20 mins until it's done; not floppy but not burnt either. Then take it out and put it on a plate with paper towels and try to get as much grease out of it as possible. You don't want you cake to be greasy... Bleh...
Next step is to make the crust. Combine the butter and crushed graham crackers and then press into bottom of a spring form pan.
Then mix all of the remaining ingredients adding the bacon after everything else has been mixed together. Pour the filling over the graham cracker crust and then bake the cheesecake at 400 for an hour. Once the hour is up turn off the oven and open the oven door slightly and leave the cheesecake in there for another hour to slowly cool down.. Then place the cheesecake in he fridge for 6hrs or until firm and it's ready to eat :) Enjoy... All while having a heart attack! LOL
