sopapilla cheesecake

Around this time of year, some friends of ours always get together and have a potluck dinner and white elephant gift exchange.  This year, we hosted at our house =)  It was lots of fun, good fellowship and yummy food! 
I tried out another new recipe....friends are beginning to be my guinea pigs for recipes I want to try out-lucky them! =) 
Sopapilla cheesecake
This yummy dessert disappeared very quickly!  It was fast to make, and pretty cheap too.

You need:
8 oz of cream cheese, softened
1 cup of sugar
2 cans of crescent rolls (the regular size)
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup of sugar 

Method:
Cream together the cream cheese and sugar in a bowl and set aside.
Grease a 13*9 dish.  Unroll one tube of crescent roll into the bottom.  Squish together the perforations as best you can.
Pour the cream cheese/sugar mixture over top, and spread around evenly.
Unroll the second can of crescent roll (it doesn't have to be pretty)
Pour the melted butter over top, and spread around as best you can.  Sprinkle with the 1/2 cup of sugar.
Bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes.

**Notes**
-I cut back the sugar to 3/4 cup
-I added 2 tsp of vanilla and some cinnamon to the cream cheese/sugar mix
-I cut back the 1/2 cup of butter to 2TB of melted butter for the top of the rolls
