Cheesecake Bars

This is a great recipe that looks like lemon squares but tastes like cheesecake

I got this recipe from a book called "101 Things to do with a Cake Mix" by Stephanie Ashcraft

Bottom Layer
1  yellow cake mix
1  stick margarine, cooled and melted
1  egg, beaten

Top Layer
1  lb. powdered sugar
2  eggs, beaten
8  ounces cream cheese
1  tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix cake mix, beaten egg, and melted margarine.  Spread into the bottom of a greased and floured 9x13" pan.
In a separate bowl, mix together powdered sugar, eggs, softened cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth.  Spread miture over bottom layer
Bake 30-35 Minutes

It comes out thin but very good.  The bottom layer rises and sometimes comes up through the top layer.  I suggest doubling the top layer.
