A delightful twist on the classic pineapple casserole, this recipe combines sweet and savory flavors with a crispy topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar and flour.
Mix thoroughly to avoid lumps.
Add the drained pineapple chunks and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl, and mix well.
Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to prevent excess moisture.
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the crushed crackers with melted butter.
Crush the crackers finely for a uniform topping.
Spread the cracker mixture evenly over the pineapple mixture.
Press the topping gently to adhere to the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Check occasionally to avoid over-browning.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor.
