- Choose sharp cheddar cheese: The bold flavor of sharp cheddar balances the sweetness of the pineapple.
- Use fresh or canned pineapple: Canned pineapple chunks are traditional, but you can use fresh pineapple cut into small chunks if you prefer.
- Customize the topping: Add a sprinkle of chopped pecans to the cracker topping for a crunchy twist.
- Serve warm: This casserole is best enjoyed warm but can also be served at room temperature.
