This Pineapple Casserole is an amazing flavor of uniquely paired ingredients. Pineapple, cheese, and a ritz cracker topping that is always a hit. Is it a side or a dessert? It can be both!
The first time I made this my family was very skeptical. Honestly, I can completely understand why they were. I mean pineapple and cheddar cheese?? With a buttery cracker topping? The combination just did not sound too great. BUT.. they loved it!! So much that the week following they requested that I make it again.
Pineapple Cheese Casserole
Some people call this Pineapple Casserole, Pineapple Cheese Casserole, Scalloped Pineapple, Pineapple Casserole with Ritz crackers, or even Baked Pineapple. No matter what you call it, it's just plain delicious! There is something about the combination that will leave your mouth watering. As I mentioned before, you can eat this as a side or a dessert. Some may even consider it more of a dessert with all that amazing sweetness. But don't count it out as a wonderful side dish especially with your Ham. They really go great together.
