Southern Pineapple Casserole

This pineapple casserole is a staple at all my cookouts and is always a favorite. It's my grandmother's recipe that she used to make every Easter. She's not happy when my extended family calls this "my" recipe, but I always give her credit!

Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks

  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

  • ½ cup white sugar, or to taste

  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour

  • 40 buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed

  • ½ cup butter, melted, or to taste


Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Drain pineapple chunks, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice. Transfer both chunks and juice into a large bowl.

  3. Add drained, crushed pineapple, cheese, sugar, and flour; mix to combine. Pour into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.

  4. Mix cracker crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl; sprinkle over pineapple mixture.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Tips

You can use pineapple tidbits instead of chunks.

I hardly use any sugar, maybe 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup if I'm trying to win over people, but usually just the 1/4 cup pineapple juice.
