I made this dish for our annual Holiday potluck this year and had many requests for the recipe. Several people commented that they never thought about combining pineapple and cheddar cheese, but loved the combination once they tasted it. I made a double batch and it was all gone. It was definitely a winner!

My family has prepared and served a similar casserole for years - identical to this, but with no cheese. It's the only way I had ever seen it until recently (and being a southern baptist - I go to a LOT of potlucks! I have since tried the cheese variation, and maybe it's because it's not what I'm used to, but I prefer it without the cheese. My family enjoys this anytime we serve ham. In fact my nephew insist on preparing the casserole for everyone because he loves it so much. And we always save the last bite or two for dessert!

I make this ecspecially at easter, but any time I cook a ham I always make this side dish at my husband's request. The only thing I do different is instead of chunk pineapple, I use tidbits. My family prefers that better. We think it is wonderful and very few friends have not cared for it. Anytime there is ham, there will always be pineapple casserole....it just seems to go together!!!

I think it is just amazing at the number of people who have never had pineapple and cheese together: I grew up on pineapple and cheese sandwiches. My high school used to serve this for lunch and I have been hunting for a good enough recipe. Good thing there's always Paula Deen!

I made this for my co-workers and out of 15 people, only 2 "liked" it. I definitely wouldn't make it again.

This recipe had me really wondering if cheese and pineapple would be good together. But, suprisingly, they are definately a great match! The only problem I had with the recipe was that the cheese did seem to get hard because I used a pre-shredded cheese the first time. After that, I grated my own and used a softer chedder cheese and it turned out GREAT! It is great with ham and pork chops, too!

I first came across this dish at a chruch pot luck in Lexington South Carolina. I begged ther recpie from the good sister after having to track her down. She didn't want to give it to me at first because is was just to quilck and easy and she had forgotten about the pot luck and just threw this together. Being the guy that I am I then misplaced the recpie. So thank you Paula for having it out on the Food Network site. I almost have it memorized. 2 cans pinapple, one pound of cheese, 2 tubes of ritz all crushed up mixed with two sticks of butter. Add a little sugar to sweeten the pineapple if it needes it then enough flour to make the pineapples stick together. Bake till bubbly and crackers are crunchy again.

Don't tell anyone it is pineapple and sharp cheddar or they won't try it. Once they try it they will beg for the recpie.

My family will not eat ham without this as a sidedish. Interesting combination of ingredients, but they are perfect together. The sweetness from the pineapple is just great with ham.
Thanks Paula!

The casserole is delicious. I was wary when my mom told me about it but I loved it and everyone, and I mean everyone, that has tasted it has loved it. My only warning is to grate your own cheese finely. If you don't, the cheese stays hard. Perhaps the others who complained about this problem used pregrated cheese?

I watched Paula make this recipe on TV one day and thought it looked interesting, even though I'm not much of a pineapple eater. I made it for my family for Thanksgiving that year, and it was a huge hit. Others who aren't crazy about pineapple have told me that they like it very much, too, and my sister-in-law makes it for her family every year now, too. Not everyone is crazy about it but most are.
