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.

Tips:
- Use the right cream cheese. Full-fat cream cheese will give you the creamiest, richest filling, while low-fat or nonfat cream cheese will result in a more watery, less flavorful pie.
- Soften the cream cheese and butter before using. This will help them blend together smoothly and will prevent lumps in the filling.
- Don't overbeat the filling. Overbeating can cause the filling to become too thick and dense.
- Use a store-bought pie crust or make your own. If you're using a store-bought crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
- Arrange the pecans in a single layer on the bottom of the pie crust. This will help them stay evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Bake the pie at a moderate temperature. This will help prevent the crust from becoming too brown or overcooked.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set properly and will make it easier to slice.
