Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for about 10 minutes.

  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and bake for 30–35 minutes until the center has a slight jiggle.
