Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F and coat a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray. Drain the pineapple well, reserving 6 tablespoons of its juice.
- Stir the sugar, flour, and reserved pineapple juice together. Fold in the pineapple, transfer it to the dish, and sprinkle the cheddar evenly over it.
- Mix the melted butter with the crushed crackers, scatter the crumbs over the cheese, and bake for about 30 minutes. Rest 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
The sweet pineapple, savory cheddar, and buttery cracker topping are best served warm.
Drain the pineapple thoroughly so the casserole sets instead of becoming watery.
