Hey! When it comes to a tasty Pineapple Bake, one delicious option is a Pineapple Casserole. It’s a sweet and savory dish that combines pineapple, sugar, and a buttery cracker topping. It’s a perfect blend of flavors that you might enjoy trying out!
Here’s a simple recipe for Pineapple Casserole:
Ingredients:
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, but adds a great flavor)
- 1 cup crushed butter crackers (like Ritz)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, sugar, and flour. Mix well until combined.
- If you’re using cheese, fold it into the pineapple mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix the crushed butter crackers with the melted butter until well coated.
- Sprinkle the cracker mixture evenly over the pineapple mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let it cool slightly before serving.
You can definitely add other fruits to the casserole for extra flavor and variety. Some great options include:
- Chopped peaches: They add a nice sweetness and complement the pineapple well.
- Mandarin oranges: These can add a citrusy zing and a pop of color.
- Cherries: Fresh or canned cherries can add a lovely tartness.
- Bananas: Sliced bananas can bring a creamy texture and sweetness.
Just be mindful of the moisture content, as too much liquid can affect the casserole’s texture. Enjoy experimenting with different fruit combinations! 🍑🍊🍒
