Description
This Quick Pineapple Casserole is a sweet and savory side dish that’s perfect for any occasion. With pineapple, cheddar cheese, and a buttery topping, this easy recipe is a crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients
- Crushed pineapple: The star of the show, providing sweetness and moisture.
- Cheddar cheese: Adds a savory, tangy contrast to the pineapple.
- All-purpose flour: Helps bind the topping ingredients together.
- Granulated sugar: Sweetens the topping and adds a crisp texture.
- Butter: Provides richness and helps create a golden-brown topping.
Instructions
- Combine Pineapple and Cheese: In a large bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (drained) and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the pineapple.
- Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and sugar.
- Mix and Transfer: Add the flour and sugar mixture to the pineapple and cheese, stir until evenly combined. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish.
- Add Butter and Bake: Dot the top of the casserole with pats of butter. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly.
Notes
- Drain the pineapple well: Excess moisture can make the casserole soggy.
- Use sharp cheddar: The sharper the cheese, the more it will complement the sweetness of the pineapple.
- Don’t overbake: Bake until golden brown and bubbly, but avoid overbaking to prevent it from drying out.
