Pineapple Casserole is a great side dish for both breakfast and other meals. If you’re hosting a brunch, it makes a nice addition. This casserole is absolutely delicious with ham. In fact, I may serve it this weekend to our house guests.

Pineapple Casserole

1 20 oz. can of pineapple tidbits (you can substitute crushed pineapple)

1/2 cup of sugar

3 tbsp. of flour

1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (either mild or sharp - I always use sharp)

1/2 cup of Ritz cracker crumbs

1/4 cup of butter, melted and cooled a little

Drain the pineapple, but reserve 3 tbsp of the liquid for later use in the recipe. (Don’t discard the remaining juice; use it to add to orange juice.) Combine the sugar and flour. Stir in the reserved 3 tbsp. of pineapple juice. Add the mixture to the cheese and pineapple. Turn into a greased casserole. Sprinkle cracker crumbs on top, and drizzle the melted butter over the crumbs. Bake at 350 degreees for about 30 minutes.

This dish can be put together in a snap. Try it with a spiral honey ham and biscuits laden with butter and jam. Or, you can even serve it to your guests for dessert. It’s not too bad cold, either!
