Oreo Cheesecake - #29daysseducedbybruce - day 17 of 29 BONUS

I really believe anything can be made in and by Bruce.  I love this man.  Er, ummm, machine.

Couple notes, the recipe doesn't tell you, but put a layer of paper towels down under the lid.  It'll trap the condensation and keep it from dripping back down on your cheesecake.  I put this in an 8" round cake pan and it was absolutely the perfect size.  It fit nicely in my large oval crockpot, and held all the ingredients. I actually had prepared two cake pans to make two because I thought it would be too much for the small cake pan, but it ended up all fitting in nicely.  2 to 2 hours and 15 minutes on high seems to be the magic number.  This was a tasty treat for the fam and the work wife.
