We have it
every single Thanksgiving and Christmas and it’s also highly requested for
birthday lunches and other random celebrations throughout the year. As I said before, the ingredients do not
sound like they should go together, but this is one of those instances where the
phrase, “don’t knock it until you’ve tried it” is fitting. Just trust me…
Here’s how to
make it.
Buy It
20 oz. can
pineapple chunks, drained, reserving 3 TBSP of juice
3 TBSP all-purpose
flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup grated
cheddar cheese
1 cup
butter-flavored cracker crumbs (about one sleeve of Ritz crackers)
1/2 cup butter,
melted
Make It
1.
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees.
2.
Place
pineapple chunks and reserved juice in a greased casserole dish.
3.
Mix
flour and sugar together and sprinkle over pineapple.
4.
Sprinkle
cheese on top.
5.
Top
with cracker crumbs.
6.
Drizzle
melted butter over all.
7.
Bake
for 55 minutes and serve hot.
It’s so easy to
make it’s ridiculous, and when it comes out of the oven, it’ll be all melted
together and gooey and wonderful. It’s
the very best when it’s served fresh out of the oven, but it tends to hold its heat
for a long time, so you can easily bake it at home and bring it with you… it’ll
still be just as good by the time you arrive at your gathering.
We eat this
dish as a side, but it’s so sweet and delicious that it can almost pass
for a dessert. Almost.
Go ahead and pin
it now and add it to the list for your next celebration… everyone will thank
you!

Ive never made a casserole before and never would have thought to make it a pineapple one, but I can't think of one more perfect for summer! xo, Biana BlovedBoston

It does sound very weird, but I am intrigued to try it out!
ReplyDeleteMy husbands step grandmother gave me this recipe she told me it’s from the Methodist Wives club - I make it every Thanksgiving and Easter now
