Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake: A Sweet, Effortless Delight

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2: Layer the Ingredients

Spread the fresh or frozen strawberries evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Add the strawberry pie filling on top of the fresh strawberries, spreading it out to cover the base layer.
Step 3: Cream Cheese Layer

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract together until smooth.
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture onto the strawberry layers, spreading gently with a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a smooth, even layer.
Step 4: Cake Topping

Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the cream cheese layer.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix, covering it as evenly as possible.
If using, sprinkle the chopped graham crackers over the cake mix for a touch of crunch and extra flavor.
Step 5: Bake the Dump Cake

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake is cooked through.
Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before serving.
