Cheesecake Bars

1/3 cup margarine or butter softened
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Filling:
1/4 cup sugar
8 oz. cream cheese softened
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

1 egg
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In small bowl, cream butter
or margarine with brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off.
Combine flour and pecans with creamed mixture.
Reserve 1 cup for topping. Press remainder into
bottom of ungreased 8 or 9-inch square pan. Bake at
350 degrees for 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly
browned.
In small bowl, blend sugar and cream cheese until
smooth. Add milk, optional lemon juice, vanilla and
egg; beat well. Spread over baked crust. Sprinkle
with reserved crumb mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for
23 to 27 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut

flavors settle. Always serve them very cold. Recipe
may be doubled, over and over again. These go fast,
too.
