Equipment

  • two 5x5 casserole dishes or equivalent

Ingredients

  • 1 20 ounce can of pineapple tidbits *or crushed pineapple if you prefer that texture
  • cup white sugar (reduce if you want a less sweet dish)

  • cup sharp cheddar grated
  • 20 Ritz crackers, crushed into crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Divide the drained pineapple between the two casserole dishes, covering the bottom surface area of each dish as much as possible.
  • Mix the sugar and flour together, then spoon evenly over the pineapples.
  • Evenly spread the cheese over the floured pineapples.
  • Then, distribute the crackers between the casserole dishes.
  • Pour half of the butter over one dish, then the other.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving.

Notes

To reheat the second dish, put it in the oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes.
