Ingredients

1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups grated sharp cheddar
2 (20-ounce) cans pineapple chunks, drained, and 6 tablespoons pineapple juice reserved
1 cup cracker crumbs (recommended: Ritz)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted, plus extra for greasing pan

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease a medium-size casserole dish with butter.

In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and flour. Gradually stir in the cheese. Add the drained pineapple chunks, and stir until ingredients are well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.

In another medium bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, melted butter, and reserved pineapple juice, stirring with a rubber spatula until evenly blended. Spread crumb mixture on top of pineapple mixture. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Where's the Ham?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

With this scrumpious dish, who needs ham! Don't have to wait for Easter or a holiday either. I make this dish for the two... of us and sometimes all we need are 2 spoons! Then we go for a long walk but its all worth it. Flavors just go well together so........ Thanks Paula. It's a keeper. Read more

Family Reunion Favorite Pineapple Casserole
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

why is everyone so shocked that pineapple is good with cheese? Pineapple has been served on pizza for YEARS and of course... that is covered with cheese! this is a dish that has been a favorite of mine at TN family reunions for as long as i can remember. i've seen other versions with no sugar or flour added and they are just wonderful too. i'm glad Paula is getting the word out about this. you could always use less butter too, not just less flour or sugar.Read more

Very Good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for a Easter potluck. Everyone really liked it, I should have made a double recipe. I wasn't sure about the... combination at first but then I thought that a lot of people put cheese with apple pie. I also used tidbits because that's all that I had. I will diffinately be making this again. Thanks Paula!Read more

Easy, Delicious Side Dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a very easy side dish. When I heard of the flavor combination, I was skeptical, but it's terrific! I've taken this... casserole to several potluck dinners, and it's always very popular. If you like an extra boost of cheddar cheese flavor, try this recipe with Cheez-it crackers rather than Ritz.Read more

Love it!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Such a odd combination with cheese and pineapples, but it was delicious! My cracker crust was too moist though. Next time, I... will cut the amount of pineapple juice.Read more
