Cheesy Pineapple Casserole

Now that the post-Thanksgiving Rush has settled down, and I’m looking at the home stretch for my exam studying (12/5 & 12/6), It’s time to post some new recipes.

This tasty casserole combines extra sharp cheddar & sweet pineapple. It’s comfort food; it’s perfect for holiday gatherings, & it’s super-easy to prepare.

·3 20-oz Cans of Pineapple Chunks
·1-1/2 Cups of Sugar
·9 Tbsp. All-Purpose Flour
·12-oz of Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
·3/4 Cup Butter
·1 Sleeve of Ritz Crackers, crushed (yields app. 1-1/2 Cup of Crumbs)

Preheat oven to 350. Drain Pineapple, saving 9 tbsp. of juice. Combine the sugar, flour, and pineapple juice. Add Cheese & Pineapple. Mix Well. Pour mixture into a large, glass casserole dish.

In a small pan, melt butter and crumbs together. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until the crumbs are browned.
