Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized fresh pineapple that's tender, sweet, and juicy*, cubed ¾ to 1” in size (about 6 cups total)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- 1½ cups crushed Ritz crackers (about 1 sleeve)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease a 9"x13” baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place half of the diced pineapple into a food processor and pulse until the pineapple forms a chunky paste.
- In a large bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Add the pineapple puree and stir to combine.
- Add the remaining diced pineapple along with 1 cup of cheddar cheese and stir. Transfer the pineapple mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the pineapple.
- In a small bowl, stir together the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle the topping over the casserole.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubby and the crackers are golden brown.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover pineapple casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
- To use canned pineapple: If you don’t want to use fresh pineapple, or if your fresh pineapple is not tender, sweet, and juicy, substitute one can (20 oz) of pineapple chunks and one can (20 oz) of crushed pineapple for the fresh pineapple in this recipe. Drain both cans, reserving the juice. Skip Step 2 in the Instructions. In Step 3, add the crushed pineapple and ¼ cup of the reserved pineapple juice to the bowl with the granulated sugar and cornstarch, and stir to combine. Then proceed with Step 4, where you’ll add the canned pineapple chunks.
