Ingredients
- 20 oz canned pineapple chunks (in juice)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Drain the canned pineapple chunks, reserving 2 tablespoons of the juice, and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and reserved pineapple juice until smooth. Add the drained pineapple chunks and shredded cheese to the bowl. Mix gently to combine, ensuring the pineapple is evenly coated. Transfer the mixture into a greased 8x8-inch casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and crushed Ritz crackers until the mixture resembles a crumbly topping. Sprinkle the buttery cracker mixture evenly over the top of the pineapple mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
