The Greatest Pineapple Casserole

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Pineapple Mixture

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained pineapple chunks with the reserved 1/4 cup pineapple juice.
2. Add the sugar and flour, and mix until the pineapple chunks are evenly coated.
3. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 3: Assemble the Casserole

1. Pour the pineapple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the crushed crackers with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
3. Sprinkle the cracker topping evenly over the pineapple mixture in the baking dish.

Step 4: Bake

1. Bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.
2. Let it cool slightly before serving, allowing the casserole to set.
