SOUTHERN PECAN PIE CHEESECAKE
This is the recipe that won $100,000 in Southern Living's Annual 2002 recipe contest. Do you think it's worth $100,000???? I changed it a bit by baking it in a water bath and it is VERY smooth and creamy.

[email protected]I made this for a potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. The only thing I would change is that I would use a smaller pan so that the cheesecake is thicker. Other than that, it was perfect!
