Pineapple Casserole
I'll admit I was skeptical when I first tried this sweet and savory Pineapple Casserole, but it just works! The creamy, fruity filling and buttery, crumbly topping compliment each other so well, and it's a fantastic Southern side dish or dessert to serve with ham, turkey, ribs, or beef tenderloin for any holiday dinner!

Notes
- If you prefer a less crunchy topping, you can reduce the amount of Ritz crackers to 1 sleeve.
- Leftovers will keep in the fridge for about 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or covered with foil in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
- Mix-in ideas: Add 2/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts or pecans. Add 2/3 cup sweetened coconut flakes. Add 1/2 cup halved maraschino cherries. Add 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
