Pineapple Casserole
Sweet and savory pineapple casserole made with sharp cheddar and a buttery Ritz cracker topping. It's a Southern classic that goes perfectly with holiday ham.
Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 can pineapple chunks (20 ounces), drained
- 1 can pineapple tidbits (20 ounces), drained
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese finely shredded
- 1 cup Ritz crackers crushed (about 20 crackers)
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and flour. Add the drained pineapple and the cheese, and stir until everything is evenly coated. Spread the mixture evenly in a 1½-quart baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, stir the crushed crackers and melted butter together until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the buttery crackers over the pineapple mixture. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown.
Notes
Drain well: Let the pineapple drain really well so the casserole doesn't turn watery.
Shred it fine: Finely shredded cheddar melts more evenly into the pineapple.
