When I make pineapple casserole, I double the amount -because guests frequently request a second helping for dessert! Sweet-tangy fruit is even better combined with savory cheddar cheese and buttery cracker crumb topping. -Catherine Ann Goza, Leland, North Carolina

My grandmother used to make this for us on Easter. She recently revived the dish and I begged her for the recipe. It is now a staple to all my cookouts and is always a favorite. She hates that my extended family calls this "my" recipe since it's hers, but I always give her credit!

Ingredients

20 oz can pineapple chunks in juice (drained (reserve 3 Tbsp of the juice))
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
15 buttery round crackers (I used Ritz)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix the sugar, flour and three tablespoons of pineapple juice in a medium-size bowl until it is smooth and creamy.
Add the drained pineapple chunks and mix well to ensure the pineapple chunks are covered with the liquid.
Grease a small baking dish with butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the pineapple mixture in the dish and spread out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the pineapple mixture.
Place the crackers in a small plastic storage bag and crush them with your hands. Add the butter and squish around until the butter and cracker crumbs are well mixed.
Sprinkle the cracker/butter topping evenly over the top of the cheese.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pineapple mixture is bubbly.
