Pioneer Woman's Pineapple Casserole Recipe: A Sweet and Savory Delight
When it comes to finding the perfect side dish that combines the sweetness of pineapples with the savory goodness of a casserole, look no further than Pioneer Woman's pineapple casserole recipe. Trust me, this dish will have your taste buds dancing with joy!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapples (including the juice), sugar, flour, and grated cheddar cheese. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the pineapple mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter until the crackers are fully coated.
Sprinkle the buttery cracker mixture over the pineapple layer, covering it completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Browning the topping — For an even more golden and crispy topping, you can broil the casserole for a couple of minutes after baking. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Serving suggestion — Pioneer Woman's pineapple casserole is a versatile dish that pairs well with both sweet and savory main courses. Serve it alongside baked ham, roasted chicken, or even as a side dish for brunch. The contrasting flavors work wonderfully together.
A touch of heat — If you prefer your casserole on the spicier side, add a sprinkle of hot sauce or a few dashes of Tabasco before serving. The heat will complement the tangy sweetness of the pineapples.
