Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (20-ounce) cans of pineapple chunks, drained
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 ½ cups crushed Ritz crackers (about 1 sleeve)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained pineapple, sugar, flour, and grated cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly coated.
- Pour the pineapple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- In a separate bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle the cracker topping over the pineapple mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling at the edges.
- Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a less sweet casserole, reduce the sugar to ¾ cup.
-
Gluten-free crackers and gluten-free flour can be used as substitutes.
-
For added flavor, try a pinch of cinnamon or a handful of chopped pecans in the topping.
-
This casserole reheats well, making it a great make-ahead option.
