Pineapple Casserole Side Dish
From Paula Deen

• 1 cup sugar
• 6 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar (I prefer mild)
• 2-20 oz. cans pineapple chunks, drained, reserving 6 T. juice
• 1 cup buttery cracker crumbs, like Ritz
• 1 stick melted butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a medium-size casserole dish.

In a large bowl, stir together sugar and flour. Gradually stir in the cheese. Add the pineapple chunks and stir until well combined. Pour mixture into the casserole dish.

In another medium bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, melted butter, and reserved juice, stirring until blended. Spread the crumb mixture on top of pineapple mixture.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Serves 8.

You wouldn't think that cheese would go well with pineapple, but this recipe is hard to beat. My daughter loves it and so does my husband which is amazing because he is not a big fan of warm pineapple in anything, especially Hawaiian pizza.

Try it with the Kahlua Baked Ham.
