This cheesecake is the only one that I ever make for my family. I got the recipe from Susan Branch's HEART OF THE HOME COOKBOOK. It is easy, but oh, so delicious!

1 (8 oz.) pkg. cheesecake, softened

Beat softened cream cheese till fluffy. Gradually blend in sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt. Add eggs, one at a time; beat after each. Pour filling into crust.
Bake at 325 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until filling is set. (If desired, add Sour Cream Topping and bake 10 minutes longer.) Cool. Chill several hours.
