Ingredients
Scale

- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish to form the crust.
