Form the Crust
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat 4 packages (8 oz each) of cream cheese at room temperature until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar and beat until combined. Add 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 0.5 cups of sour cream, mixing until smooth.

Combine and Bake
Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.
