Baked Pineapple Casserole is an old fashioned recipe, just like grandma used to make. Some consider it the perfect side dish with ham, while others may call it a dessert.

Ingredients
- 1/2 c Granulated Sugar
- 6 tbs All Purpose Flour
- 6 tbs Pineapple Juice
- 1 20 oz Can of Pineapple Chunks drained and juice reserved
- 1 20 oz Can of Crushed Pineapple drained
- 1 c Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Sleeve of Butter Crackers crushed (recommend Ritz)
- 1 Stick of Butter melted and divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉
- In a mixing bowl - combine sugar and flour.
- Next: Drain pineapple, be sure to reserve six tablespoons of the pineapple juice.
- Add the reserved pineapple juice to the sugar and flour. Whisk to combine.
- Add the drained pineapple chunks and crushed pineapple and stir to combine with the slurry mixture.
- Melt one stick of butter. I do this in the microwave for a few seconds.
- Add two tablespoons of the melted butter to the bottom of a small baking dish. Give it a swirl to coat the bottom of the dish. I used a 6x9 baking dish but any small baking dish will do fine.
- Crush the Ritz crackers and add the crumbs to a small bowl.
- Add the remaining melted butter to the cracker crumbs and stir to combine together.
- Add the pineapple mixture to the casserole dish and top with the shredded cheese.
- Top it off by adding a layer of the buttery cracker crumb topping.
- Bake 30 minutes. Serve warm.
