I love this recipe! I find it is best when made with graham cracker crumbs- been cooking it for years and needed a refresher on the proportions. Thank you!

This is a great recipe that I've been using for years. I use crushed graham cracker crumbs and skip the salt and pepper. Tastes more like dessert and everybody loves it!
