Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch casserole dish. - Prepare the Pineapple Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple and reserved juice.
- Stir in the sugar, flour, and shredded cheese until evenly mixed.
- Assemble the Casserole:
- Pour the pineapple mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter.
- Spread the cracker mixture evenly over the top of the pineapple mixture.
- Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling. - Serve:
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. It pairs beautifully with baked ham, roasted chicken, or can even be enjoyed as a dessert!
Tips:
- For a little extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg into the pineapple mixture.
