1 1/2 c pecans, toasted, cooled
3 T brown sugar
3 T butter, melted

24 oz cream cheese, room temp
1 1/4 c sugar

Directions:
Beat cream cheese, sugar and lemon till smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time. Add rest of ingredients and beat till smooth. Pour into crust. Set foil-wrapped pan into roasting pan. Pour boiling water 1/2 way up the outside of cheesecake pan. This step is easier to do if pans are already in oven and shelf does not have to be moved (so water doesn't splash into cheesecake mixture). Bake till outer 3" puff and center is soft set about 1 hr. + 15 min. Take out of oven but cool in water bath 30 min. Take out of water and cut around cake to loosen edge. Refrigerate overnight before removing foil and pan. Serve with Caramel Bourbon Sauce.
