Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 40 oz canned pineapple chunks, drained well
- 0.67 cup granulated sugar
- 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
- 2.25 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1.25 cup buttery cracker crumbs crushed finely
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- Drain pineapple thoroughly and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Whisk sugar and flour in a large bowl, then add pineapple and toss to coat.
- Fold in shredded cheddar until evenly distributed. Spread mixture into the dish.
- Combine cracker crumbs with melted butter. Scatter the crumb mixture over the top.
- Bake 28–32 minutes, until the topping is golden and the edges are bubbling.
- Rest 10 minutes before serving so the casserole sets slightly.
Notes
Variation: Stir a pinch of cayenne into the sugar-flour mixture for a subtle sweet-heat twist. You can also swap pineapple chunks for tidbits if you prefer smaller bites. Serving tip: This pairs beautifully with baked ham or roasted chicken. Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days; reheat at 325°F until warmed through.
