Coat a spring-form pan with butter and place in refrigerator. Crush 1 pack of graham crackers into crumbs. Add 2 tbsp of butter to a pan and melt down under a low flame. Add the crumbs to this pan with the melted butter and mix. Add another tbsp of butter to this mixture and mix. Add the crumb mixture to your cooled spring-form pan and coat the bottom and the sides. Put this pan back into the refrigerator. Add 1 & 1/2 lbs. of cream cheese to a mixing bowl followed by one cup of sugar and mix together. Add 2 eggs, 1 tsp. of vanilla and let mix.
