Notes
- Be sure to use pineapple packed in juice, not heavy syrup. You will need to reserve some of the juice from the cans to use in the recipe.
- I typically use a buttery cracker such as Ritz crackers. Any buttery style cracker will work just fine.
- This casserole is best when served immediately, as the crackers can soften over time.
