My Cheesecake

I took a whole bunch of cheesecake recipes and kind of made my own. NOTE: I have actually made this mixing about 3/4 cup of chocolate chips into the cheesecake filling and then drizzled some melted chocolate on top once the cake cooled. Or you can also try mixing in some fruit. I like having fun with this. Time does not include cooling or chilling time.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (I actually use 325 degrees in convection bake).
2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar (only use enough butter to moisten crumbs, may be less than the 3/4 cups) Press mixture to bottom of 12 inch springform cake pan and bake for 10 minutes.
