   Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray the bottom of a 9 x 13 glass baking dish with cooking spray.

   Add 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs and 3 tablespoons of sugar to the melted butter. Mix and pat firmly into the bottom of the baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes and allow to cool completely. Variations: We have been known to use chocolate graham crackers and to mix graham crackers and pretzels.

   Cream the cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar together. Fold in the Cool Whip. Spread over the graham cracker crust. Variation: We have been known to use flavored cream cheeses at this step. Pineapple has been a favorite variation.

   Mix the Jello and hot water until the Jello is dissolved. Add frozen strawberries. Allow to firm slightly and layer over the cream cheese mixture. Variation: Different flavored Jello and frozen fruits may be substituted. We have used blueberries to make this a red, white, and blue side dish for Independence Day.
